Abstract
A system includes activation of a local light emitter to emit local light, activation of a radiation emitter to emit radiation, and acquisition of an image based on the emitted radiation and on the local light. According to some embodiments, the emitted radiation is converted to second light, the local light and the second light are combined to create combined light, and the image is acquired based on the combined light.
