Abstract
A reflection-mode photoacoustic (PA) imaging system was designed and built to image deep structures in biological tissues. We chose near-infrared laser pulses of 804-nm wavelength for PA excitation to achieve deep penetration. To minimize unwanted surface signals, we adopted dark-field ring-shaped illumination. This imaging system employing a 5-MHz spherically focused ultrasonic transducer provides penetration up to 38mm in chicken breast tissue. At the 19-mm depth, the axial resolution is 144μm and the transverse resolution is 560μm. Internal organs of small animals were imaged clearly.
