The detection of single bubbles has nothing to do with resolution. This would be the case, if you would be interested in differentiation between two bubbles situated close to each other. In you case the question will be: how strong is the signal reflected by the bubble and what is the sensitivity of your probe and electronics. The wave length is not significant in this case. It can be much larger than the bubble size.    Reply  Translate  Close
