Abstract
A flexible image converter may be used for many different applications and may be equipped to condition or alter the converted image. An image of an object is converted to an electrical signal, and digitalized. If desired, conditioning operations are performed on the digitalized image. The conditioned digitalized image may then be converted back to an analog image signal. The analog image signal is then displayed on a spatial light modulator. The image displayed on the spatial light modulator is then superimposed on an electromagnetic radiation beam to obtain the converted image representation of the object.
