Abstract
A beam of ultrasonic energy is scanned through the use of a steerable mirror positioned in a liquid path traversed by the beam between a transmit-receive crystal and the target. The mirror is comprised of a material selected to have an angle of excitation of surface waves at the liquid-mirror interface which lies outside the range of angles of transmission and reception incidence at which the beam impinges on the mirror.
