Abstract: The present invention relates to an acoustic microscope system having an ultrasonic probe that is driven with a high-frequency burst signal to radiate an ultrasonic signal and that detects the resulting reflected and irradiated waves, a Z-axis moving device that updates the vertical distance Z between the probe and a material of interest for each sampling position, and device for constructing a V(z) curve from the reflection signals obtained at respective sampling positions. The ultrasonic probe of the invention is provided with an acoustic lens, a first ultrasonic transducer for receiving a leaky surface skimming compressional wave reflected from a sample material on one side of the acoustic lens, and a second ultrasonic transducer also provided on the side of the acoustic lens for receiving a leaky surface acoustic wave.
