Figure Legend:
Schematic of scanning acoustic microscopy. Acoustic waves generated by the transducer pass through the sapphire rod. The curvature at the end of the rod focuses the plane waves to a point on or below the sample surface. Blue ray is incident at Rayleigh angle (θR) on the sample. These rays generate Rayleigh waves, which travel along the blue line to the transducer. The axial ray (green) is a normally reflected ray. These two rays together contribute to the impedance information. The AM microstructural image is produced from the interference patterns between normally reflected longitudinal waves and the Rayleigh waves .

Figure Legend:
(a) Acoustic microscope images obtained at 180 deg surface (W0) and (b) at the center of specimen in Fig. . Differences in the intensity are observed. It is seen that (b) of the center is brighter (higher intensity) than (a) of the surface.
