Tiny Camera using MEMS technology, joined in Guinness book of records..

A specialist medical camera that assesses just 0.65 x 0.65 x 1.158mm has just joined the Guinness Book of Records. The  extent of the tiny piece of stone, it is the camera's small sensor that is certainly being joined into the record book. The OmniVision OV6948 is just 0.575 x 0.575 x 0.232mm and generates a 40,000-pixel color image using an RGB Bayer back-side-illuminated chip. Each photosite estimates just 1.75 µm across.

The determination may seem low, but the OVM6948-RALA camera is constructed to fit down the smallest of veins in the human body  providing surgeons views that will care for diagnosis and with surgical techniques. Recently the surgeon would carry out these operations blind, or use a much lower-resolution fibre optic feed. 

Designed by California-based OmniVision Technologies Inc, the sensor catches its imagery at 30fps, and its analog output can be communicated over distances of up to 4m with minimal noise. The camera unit gives a 120° super-wide angle of view - so something like a 14mm on a full-frame camera. It gives a midst of field range from 3mm to 30mm.
These comparatively high-resolution images are said to be extremely useful in areas such as neurology, ophthalmology, ENT, cardiology, spinal injuries, urology, gynecology and arthroscopy. The low-power consumption of the camera means that less heat is produced, which allows for longer method and better patient satisfaction
