(a) Scanning Acoustic Microscopy (SAM) System (b) Schematic representation of tissue sectioning (cutting points from enamel and longutidunal direction) and localization for the measurement. (c) Schematic representation of acoustic impedance measurement mode. In this case, water is used as substrate. Tooth sample is not necessarily thin sliced. Just front surface must be polished to be very flat for the acoustic impedance measurement of the tooth sample
