A lot of the cameras on phones and computers (and cameras too!) are part
of a circuit board, the trick is getting the imager small and at the end
of a flex cable of some sort, and the rest of the bits on the hand-held
part.

I was just looking at the camera on the macbook.. It is maybe 3mm
dia. that could be put in a .5 thick case and you would have a 4mm
dia camera for pretty cheap. The megapixel camera on my motorola cell
phone appears to be about 1mm lens dia.
Seems to me somewhere in the computer peripherals world there should
be a camera and light USB device for around $30.
they put video camera on R/C planes. Those have t be pretty small and
they are either wireless or record to a microSD card. Whatever that
is ought to work, except for the absence of a light. But if you can
keep the camera to 4mm dia, then you should be able to get light in
with the remaining 6mm
You know, I had this idea a few years ago, to make a cheap cam like
that for hobbyists, cars, etc. and never really pursued it. I see
Harbor Fright has one now for about a $100, has a little display and
the cam on the end of a flexible thingie. It looks fairly small, but
maybe not small enough for that application. Don't think it has a
light.

goes (OM61x and OM60x) to work as a borescope, preferably with
onboard
light.
I would think anyone in the medical equipment biz could arrive at that
type of instrument, as in arthroscopic surgery equipment or that other
stuff they shove up your groin to examine your heart and do surgery
there - that all has lights, action, camera. Cost being no problem.
Perhaps with your glow-in-dark doors sources, this type of equipment
comes up used from time to time?
