What Does SLAM Stand For?

SLAM stands for Scanning Laser Acoustic Microscopy

SLAM, or Scanning Laser Acoustic Microscopy, is an advanced imaging technique that combines laser-induced ultrasound generation with high-resolution scanning microscopy. This method enables researchers to investigate the structural and material properties of samples at nanoscale resolution. By using laser pulses to excite acoustic waves, SLAM provides detailed information on the internal features of materials, making it valuable in fields such as materials science, biology, and nanotechnology. Its non-destructive nature allows for the study of delicate structures without damaging the samples, offering insights into their mechanics and composition.
