1. An imaging system, comprising: a local assembly proximal to a target object to be imaged, comprising: an image capture device for capturing an image of the internal structure of the target object; a first display for displaying a captured image from the image capture device; a partially reflective surface oriented to reflect the captured image to an operator of the imaging device, such that the reflected captured image is merged with a direct view of the target object independent of the viewing location of the operator when the angle between the surface and the display is equal to angle between the surface and the image plane; and a first transmitter-receiver adapted to transmit said captured image to a second transmitter-receiver; and a remote assembly distal from said target object, comprising: said second transmitter-receiver adapted to receive said captured image; a second display for displaying the captured image; wherein said first transmitter-receiver and said second transmitter-receiver comprise a communication channel adapted to transmit information from a user at said remote assembly to said local assembly.
