Abstract
Scanning acoustic microscopy (SAM) provides the physical properties of tissues at the microscopic level that cannot be obtained by optical microscopy and it also provides some useful information for understanding clinical echographic images. However, no tissue preparation method for this system has been established, and the influence of fat components in the tissue on the high-frequency acoustic properties has not been clarified.
