Abstract
Scanning acoustic microscopy(SAM) is now becoming a widely used method for the investigation of solid materials while its application in the fields of biology and medicine where soft materials are prevalent is still in its infancy. The reasons for this situation are twofold
-
the physiological significance of mechanical properties of cells is just in an early stage of being appreciated by the scientific community
-
our knowledge on the interaction of cellular components with ultrasound in the GHz range is very limited.
