1. An adaptive optics apparatus for transmitting an object scene, comprising: the object scene being comprised of a plurality of segments; wave front control means for successively steering wave fronts emanating, respectively, from each of the segments onto an imaging objective; for successively focusing wave fronts emanating, respectively, from each of the segments onto the imaging objective; and for correcting aberrations in incident wave fronts; and the imaging objective being for successively focusing incident wave fronts emanating, respectively, from each of the segments onto an optical sensor after they are respectively transmitted by the wave front control means.
