Photoacoustic active region and the field of view (FOV). A single flat transducer scans the PA source region along a circular trajectory. The transducer always faces the center of the scanning region. The PA active region (light gray area) contains the PA sources due to absorption of the illuminating radiation. The FOV corresponds to the overlap region of all detection areas, which are limited by the marked acceptance angles centered along the scanning trajectory.
