Scientists in the United States have developed a tiny camera that they say is “the size of a coarse grain of salt”.
This new camera can produce clear, full-colour images that are as good as ones taken with camera lenses that are 500,000 times bigger in size.
While scientists have developed tiny cameras before, the pictures they have taken have been blurry and the quality of the images hasn’t been very good.
Traditionally, cameras rely on a number of curved pieces of glass or plastic known as ‘lenses’ to keep images clear which limits how small cameras can be, however this one uses different technology to get around this – meaning the camera is tiny AND takes clear pictures!
