• Acoustic Microscopy - Scanning Acoustic Microscopy (SAM) is a non-destructive failure analysis or inspection technique. SAM can be performed with either the Scanning Laser Acoustic Microscope (SLAM) or the C-Mode SAM (C-SAM). (University of Maryland)
• Acoustic Saturation - The maximum value of acoustic pressure within an ultrasonic beam is limited by acoustic saturation. (Bioacoustic Research Lab.)
