Claim 13:
14. A digital imaging system with direct view of an object, comprising:
a beam-splitter mirror configured to allow light to pass through said mirror to a user's eye and to redirect, prior to reaching the user's eye, at least a portion of said light, said portion of said light having a non-visible wavelength;
a digital display disposed between said user's eye and said object; and
a folded optic disposed so as to redirect said at least a portion of said light of non-visible wavelength to a digital camera; and
an image processor configured to process imaging data from said camera and to output said data to said display, allowing the imaging data to be viewed remotely, wherein the data output to said display from said imaging data comprises visible light passing through the beam-splitter mirror and non-visible light redirected by the folded optic to the digital camera,
wherein said digital camera is mounted outside a field of view of said user's eye and configured to obtain imaging data from said light of non-visible wavelength.
