ABSTRACT:
In an acoustic lens apparatus of this invention, a lens surface formed on an ultarsonic medium has a longitudinal wave lens portion constituted by a first aspherical surface at its central area, and a transverse wave lens portion constituted by a second aspherical surface at its peripheral area. The ultrasonic medium includes a piezoelectric transducer for generating ultrasonic waves at its surface opposite to the lens surface. The ultrasonic medium is arranged so that the lens surface opposes a sample, a coupler medium is filled in the gap between the surface and the sample.
