Acoustics: The impact of low-frequency sound (infrasound) on imaging equipment in nanoscale research

The presentation reviews issues associated with low frequency sound—sources, human perception, typical levels, and effects on imaging systems.  A set of infrasound criteria are presented which correlate imaging resolution with low frequency sound levels.  Design features intended to mitigate infrasound generation and impact are discussed.
