My guess would be that a spycam can be so small
that it looks like a grain of sand, but, powering the
camera is another thing entirely. Then you need to

of the camera has a limit on just how small you can
make them. Ideas? I would like to hear them.

Measuring 1x1x1mm in size, this microscopic instrument, created by a research team at Berlin's Fraunhofer Institute for Reliability and Microintegration, is the smallest camera ever built -- about the size of a grain of salt. A tiny square substrate with a thin layer of sensors and a lens layered over one side, this camera sends its signal through an electrical wire because a fiber optic cable would be too thick....
