Abstract
An ultrasonic transducing unit comprising a central section, which cooperates with only a small portion of the relatively large aperture of an acoustic lens, and an annular section, which cooperates with the remainder of the aperture, can be selectively operated by switch means to utilize the relatively large depth of focus detected signal of the central section alone or to utilize the relatively small depth of focus detected signal of both the central and annular sections together.
