Patent ID: 8516691

Claim:
A method for assembling an in-vivo imaging device comprising the steps of: providing a flexible circuit board having a plurality of flexible installation units connected by a plurality of flexible connection units, wherein an imager is disposed on a first side of each of two of the flexible installation units; providing two optical assemblies; attaching each of the two optical assemblies to the first side of a respective one of the two flexible installation units onto which an imager is disposed; folding the flexible circuit board so that the flexible installation units are stacked along a common longitudinal axis to form two imaging assemblies facing in opposite directions; providing a housing having two opposing open ends; passing the folded flexible circuit board through the housing so that one imaging assembly is protruding from each open end; attaching a dome to each imaging assembly so as to orient the imaging assemblies in relation to the domes; folding the flexible circuit board so that each one of the domes is positioned over a respective open end of the housing; and bringing the domes into abutment with the housing so that the housing and the domes form a closed housing enclosing the imaging assemblies and the flexible circuit board.
