1. A system comprising;

  • a plurality of solid state devices that capture photon intensity from an illuminated object, the solid state devices being exposed to an image of the illuminated object through a beam splitter and filters that selectively pass incident photons along a number of paths according to wavelength, each one of the solid state devices being selectively exposed to a portion of the image including wavelengths passed along one of the number of paths, at least one of the paths selectively passing infrared wavelengths to form a diagnostic image of the illuminated object at one of the solid state devices that monochromatically represents an intensity of infrared wavelengths from the illuminated object corresponding to emissions from an imaging medium within the illuminated object, and at least one other one of the paths selectively passing wavelengths to another one of the solid state devices to form a visible light image of the illuminated object;

    an image processing system configured to pseudocolor the diagnostic image to provide a pseudocolored diagnostic image, and configured to superimpose the pseudocolored diagnostic image onto the visible light image to provide a processed image; and

    a camera containing a lens, the plurality of solid state devices, and the image processing system, the camera further including one or more inputs for remote operation of the camera and plurality of outputs for an external display system, the plurality of outputs including a visible light output for the visible light image, a diagnostic image output for the diagnostic image, a combined output for the processed image.
