Abstract
We give an explicit construction of any simply-connected superconformal surface in Euclidean space in terms of a pair of conjugate minimal surfaces . That is superconformal means that its ellipse of curvature is a circle at any point. We characterize the pairs of conjugate minimal surfaces that give rise to images of holomorphic curves by an inversion in and to images of superminimal surfaces in either a sphere or a hyperbolic space by an stereographic projection. We also determine the relation between the pairs of conjugate minimal surfaces associated to a superconformal surface and its image by an inversion. In particular, this yields a new transformation for minimal surfaces in .
