Abstract: We give an explicit construction of any simply-connected superconformal surface $phicolon{M}^{2}o{R}^4$ in Euclidean space in terms of a pair of conjugate minimal surfaces $g,hcolon{M}^{2}o{R}^4$. That $phi$ is superconformal means that its ellipse of curvature is a circle at any point. We characterize the pairs $(g,h)$ of conjugate minimal surfaces that give rise to images of holomorphic curves by an inversion in $R^4$ and to images of superminimal surfaces in either a sphere $S{f}^4$ or a hyperbolic space $H{y}^4$ by an stereographic projection. We also determine the relation between the pairs $(g,h)$ 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 $R^4$.
