Optoacoustic microscopy is an efficient method of three-dimensional biomedical visualization, which is based on using single-element focused ultrasonic antennas. Scanning of the studied medium by the focal constriction of an acoustic antenna allows one to retrieve the location of the sources of optoacoustic pulses without using reconstruction algorithms. However, the finite size of the focal constriction results in blurring of optoacoustic images. In this work, we demonstrate the algorithm which is based on calculating the Green’s function for an arbitrary acoustic antenna and allows one to correct optoacoustic images.
