contents We discuss a time-harmonic inverse scattering problem for the Navier equation with compactly supported penetrable and possibly inhomogeneous scattering objects in an unbounded homogeneous background medium, and we develop a monotonicity relation for the far field operator that maps superpositions of incident plane waves to the far field patterns of the corresponding scattered waves. Combining the monotonicity relation with the method of localized potentials, we extend the so called monotonicity method to characterize the support of inhomogeneities in the Lamé parameters and the density in terms of the far field operator.
