Remove "mostly used by engineers" paragraph?
[edit]I vote to remove or at least drastically rework the paragraph under Principles of Operation that makes the claim that SAMs are "used mostly by engineers" and goes on to describe a particular example of Non-destructive testing. Firstly, that application should be discussed on the non-destructive testing page. Secondly, it doesn't do much to describe the principles of operation of a SAM. Third, there are several types of people who aren't engineers and use SAMs. Maybe this could be kept as a one-sentence example in a "list of SAM applications" section, but I'd be in favor of removal.

I agree
[edit]That paragraph should be removed or drastically rewritten.
article
[edit]Hello there!,
I appreciate your initiative to introduce the subject of scanning acoustic microscopy and in principle it submits the right idea. But I thing the whole article needs to be rewritten especially the introductory part. I have been working for nearly two years on this field and would like to participate.

Someone listening??
[edit]Hi guys,
I appreciate your efforts. I agree that the article needs to be rewritten from scratch. I would go further and suggest to offer two separate articles under the same or similar term SAM. One that would stress the physic's and engineering site and one that would go into the biomedical perspectives. Any further suggestions will be appreciated. I would definitely be willing to introduce the biomedical sections as this is the area of my work for the last couple of years.

Level of Magnification?
[edit](I dont know much about acoustic microscopes.)
The article doesnt mention anything about the level of magnifaction that an acoustic microscope can achieve. For instance does it have the same level of magnification of an optical miscropce eg can it see a bacteria or animal cell? Maybe some bright person here can explain?

- I agree and there is also no information on resolution.Lkingscott (talk) 10:00, 16 February 2024 (UTC)
SAM vs C-SAM vs CSAM
[edit]The article suddenly starts discussing C-SAM, and then CSAM, without ever explaining what the "C" means, how C-SAM and CSAM are related to SAM, are C-SAM and CSAM different or 2 names for the same thing, or are they the same as SAM, or a specific type of SAM, or how do they differ? I don't know the answers to these questions, so I hope someone else can answer them and fix the article accordingly. Dr.bobbs (talk) 02:03, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
