Abstract
A probe including a body having a main chamber receiving an assembly for transmitting and receiving an ultrasonic wave. The assembly is mounted on a frame driven in reciprocating motion by a driving motor. The chamber is closed by a probe tip having a slot made of a liquid impermeable solid element which is permeable to the acoustic wave transmitted by the acoustic transducer and toward the acoustic transducer. A reciprocating motion of the acoustic transducer is a translating movement parallel to the slot such that the ultrasonic beam is normal at the slot.
