As an imaging tool, the acousticlens beats ultrasound imaging because the sound pulses can be focused much more tightly and can be easily repositioned.
作为一个成像工具，声透镜冲击了超声波的显像，因为声脉冲可以更加紧密地聚焦，可以很容易地重新定位。

When a sound wave strikes the spheres at one end of the acousticlens, the sound gets converted into a type of shock wave known as a solitary wave.
当把声波打击在声透镜一端的球体上时，声波就会转换成称为孤波的某种类型的冲击波。

But such applications are still a ways off, she said, as the acousticlens has not yet been tested on cells or living animals.
