A dielectric material is a substance that is a poor conductor of electricity, but an efficient supporter of electrostatic fields. Most dielectric materials are solid. Such examples include porcelain(ceramic) mica, glass, plastics, and the oxides of various metals. Liquids and gases can also serve as good dielectric materials : dry air(used in variable capacitors and some types of transmission lines), or a vacuum. 3, record 4, English, - permittivity

Acoustic microscopy is the term applied to high resolution, high frequency ultrasonic inspection techniques which produce images of features beneath the surface of a sample. Because ultrasonic energy requires continuity of materials to propagate, internal defects such as voids, delaminations and cracks interfere with the transmission and/or reflection of ultrasound signals. Since air is a very poor conductor of ultrasound, gaps within or between samples are easily visualized by the localized changes in the ultrasound. 1, record 6, English, - acoustic%20microscopy
