Subject: Very Small Cheap Cameras for Machine Vision

I am interested in specifications, and ultimately a source, for very small
cheap cameras for use in machine-vision-type applications.  Very low
resolution monochrome is appropriate, though of course other options will
be considered in a bang/buck/size/weight equation!  Small size is the
primary consideration:  I would like to find something maybe the size of
a Chap-Stick or less that still has the capability of focussing on full-
size real-world objects.  I saw something like this in a Japanese film
(A Taxing Woman by Juzo Itami) and it didn't look like they were faking it.
Someone told me that sci.electronics hosted such a discussion just recently.

Small distance microphones, voice microphones, body temperature, EKG and
EEG sensors, very small LCD screens, and the like are of interest too.

Please respond by email and I'll summarize to this group for others
interested in these areas.

Thanks,

Craig Hubley
