This book summarizes work at the University of Victoria to design and evaluate a prototype instrument called the Confocal Acoustic Holography Microscope. The CAHM will be able to measure small changes in temperature and composition in a fluid specimen, which can be indirectly measured via small fluctuations in the speed of sound. The CAHM combines concepts of confocal microscopy, interferometry, and ultrasonic imaging. The design of the CAHM involved the production of a 3D CAD model and ray tracing simulations using Zemax optical design software. Simulated acoustic holograms and fringe shifts...
