Notes:
A novel insonification system, intended for the verification of the existence and assessment of single-frequency, nonthermal vibrational effects of ultrasound on biological targets, is described. The induction of vibration-triggered damage was made possible by insonifying suitable targets immersed in liquid nitrogen with continuous-wave ultrasound at approximately 3, 5, and 7 MHz, while monitoring the ultrasonic intensities (2–24 mW/cm2) by acoustic and acousto-optic methods. The extent and nature of vibration-induced damage in recovered samples may then be assessed by a variety of analytical procedures.
