Probe head
Converts the electrical signal into an ultrasonic signal,
focusing the sound beams in a given direction; meanwhile, it
receives the reflected ultrasonic signal and converts it into an
electrical signal for transmission over the cable. The lens on
the surface is the acoustic lens. Apply ultrasound gel on the
acoustic lens for correct operation.
