Abstract: Some embodiments of an imaging adapter head are provided. The imaging adapter head can include a sensor module configured to detect levels of electromagnetic radiation within a field of view and output a corresponding digital or analog video signal. The imaging adapter head can include a micro-display module configured to receive the video signal and to generate an optical representation of the video signal. The imaging adapter head can include an optical coupling module having one or more lenses configured to create a focused virtual image of the optical representation and to position and size the focused virtual image such that, when the imaging adapter head is coupled to a personal imaging device having an optical image sensor, the optical representation of the field of view is completely imaged on the optical image sensor.
