Israel Developing Smallest Camera on Earth

"Two Israeli companies - medical device company Medigus and specialty foundry company Tower Semiconductor - have announced their collaboration on the world's smallest medical video camera.
Based on advanced complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor (CMOS) technology, the sophisticated tiny camera will be used for disposable endoscopes and various medical and surgical purposes. Medigus, experts in the miniaturization of diagnostic and surgical tools and Tower, a leading specialty semiconductor manufacturer and foremost CMOS image sensor provider, expect the innovation will lower the cost of endoscopic and other diagnostic procedures, as well as improve curative treatments."

Too bad that anyone contemplating a boycott on Israeli products won't be able to benefit from the new technology.
