Abstract

In a recent paper we presented the formulation of multiple-frequency tomography with the Scanning Tomographic Acoustic Microscope (STAM) [1]. Because of the limited range of frequencies available, the STAM is not ideally suited for multiple-frequency tomography. In this paper we review the tomographic reconstruction algorithm and present the implementation of multiple-angle tomography. In addition to the projecdon phase correction required for multiple-frequency tomography [1], multiple-angle tomography also requires registration and alignment of the tomographic projections. By addressing the projection phase error and alignment problems, we have successfully implemented the STAM for multiple-angle tomography, and experimental reconstructions of a two-layer specimen are presented to demonstrate the feasibility and capability of the STAM.
