Review from previous edition Acoustic microscopy had already helped to solve many problems in materials science. A textbook giving a full treatment of acoustic microscopy was therefore bound to be very welcome. Here it is!

Ultrasonics

Such an elegant technique, so widely applicable, is bound to attract increasing numbers of enthusiasts. They can do no better than turn to this excellent book and learn not only the tools of their specialism but also a great deal of physics admirably expounded and faultlessly illustrated. [...] This is a great book.

Contemporary Physics

A masterly volume that will not easily be surpassed.

Acoustic microscopy enables the elastic properties of materials to be imaged and measured with the resolution of a good microscope. By using frequencies in the microwave regime, it is possible to make the acoustic wavelength comparable with the wavelength of light, and hence to achieve a resolution comparable with an optical microscope. Solids can support both longitudinal and transverse acoustic waves. At surfaces a unique combination of the two known as Raleigh waves can propagate, and in many circumstances these dominate the contrast in acoustic microscopy. Following the invention of scanning probe microscopes, it is now possible to use an atomic force microscope to detect the acoustic vibration of a surface with resolution in the nanometre range, thus beating the diffraction limit by operating in the extreme near-field. This second edition of Acoustic Microscopy has a major new chapter on the technique and applications of acoustically excited probe microscopy.

For many years Acoustic Microscopy has been the definitive book on the subject. A key development since it was first published has been the development of ultrasonic force microscopy. The 2nd edition has a major new chapter on this technique and its applications.
