1. A method for optimizing electromagnetic energy in a system for processing an image of an object in order to perform a procedure on an object, comprising the steps of: (a) applying to an object a plurality of light beams formed of incoherent light at a plurality of differing frequencies and reflecting said plurality of applied incoherent light beams from said object to provide a plurality of reflected light beams; (b) providing a corresponding plurality of electrical signals representative of the reflected light beams of said plurality of reflected light beams; (c) determining a corresponding plurality of image quality metrics in accordance with said plurality of electrical signals; (d) determining a corresponding plurality of images in accordance with said plurality of image quality metrics; (e) selecting an image of said plurality of images in accordance with a predetermined image criterion to provide a selected image; (f) determining a frequency of said plurality of differing frequencies in accordance with said selected image to provide a determined frequency; and (g) performing said procedure on an object in accordance with said determined frequency.
