PHOTOACOUSTIC MICROSCOPE

摘要

The invention relates to a photoacoustic microscope comprising an optical module (2) having a objective (4), said module directing the electromagnetic radiation into a sample (3) to generate pressure waves, and an acoustic module (9, 10) for detecting said generated pressure waves. Said acoustic module (9, 10) comprises a pressure sensor (9) which has an optically detectable, pressure-dependent characteristic, and a reading out device which optically detects the pressure-dependent characteristic of the pressure sensor (9) by means of the objective (4).
