  • Acoustic micro imaging device with a scan while loading feature
    Patent number: 9170236
    Abstract: A scanning acoustic microscope comprises a structure including a loading portion and a scanning portion, a transducer disposed in the scanning portion and operable to develop ultrasonic energy, and a controller. A driver is responsive to the controller and is capable of moving the transducer along a scan path with respect to a first plurality of parts disposed in the scanning portion as a second plurality of parts are being loaded into the loading portion.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 23, 2011
    Date of Patent: October 27, 2015
