VISUALIZATION AND QUANTITATIVE CHARACTERIZATION OF SMALL OBJECTS IN A LENS ACOUSTIC MICROSCOPE WITH A TWO-DIMENSIONAL ARRAY by S. A. Titov, A. N. Bogachenkov

“…On the basis of the paraxial approximation it was found that the recorded spatio-temporal signal of the microscope ultrasonic array can be treated as an estimation of the scattering function of visualized objects. It was theoretically established that the scattering functions of the observed inhomogeneities can be used for the interpretation of the generated acoustic images. …”
