title: The use of acoustic microscopy for biological tissue characterization.
abstract: A system of transmission raster acoustic microscope with an ultrasound frequency of 450 MHz has been designed to investigate biological tissues and comparative analysis of their optical and acoustic images. The possibility of obtaining the contrast acoustic images of nonfixed, nonstained biological tissues and viscoelasticity measurements in microscale was demonstrated.
