Abstract
An imaging system for imaging an object point to an image point, the system including: a beam splitter positioned to receive light rays from the object point and separate each of a plurality of rays into a transmitted portion and a reflected portion, the transmitted portions defining a first set of rays and the reflected portions defining a second set of rays; and an array of independently positionable reflecting elements forming a reflecting surface positioned to receive one of the sets of rays from the beam splitter and focus that set of rays towards the image point via the beam splitter.
