摘要

A liquid acoustic lens with variable focal length is described for photoacoustic microscopy. This liquid lens takes advantage of the elastic and deformable lens interface to tune its focal length in a pneumatical manner. The curvature of the lens interface as well as the dependant focal length was characterized as a function of the infusion volume of the liquid. Experiments were carried out to demonstrate the zooming ability of this liquid acoustic lens. Targets embedded at different depths were photoacoustically imaged without performing mechanically axial scanning.
