1. An imaging capsule system comprising:

  • a capsule shell, and;

    an electro-optical system,wherein the electro-optical system comprises;

    a first energy harvester,wherein said energy harvester is designed to harvest energy from surrounding vibration, movement, body heat or combination thereof;

    an image sensor,wherein said image sensor detects non-visible light;

    a first lens;

    wherein the first lens is a part of the capsule shell, wherein the first lens focuses the non-visible light to the image sensor;

    a second energy harvester,wherein the second energy harvester harvests energy from an infrared radiation, wherein the second energy harvester comprises of more than one diode connected in series and wherein the second energy harvester supplies the energy to the electro-optical system, and;

    a second lens, and;

    wherein the second lens is designed to focus the infrared radiation to the second energy harvester;

    a signal processing electronics,wherein the signal possessing electronics comprises an antenna and a transmitter;

    wherein the electro-optical system is housed in the capsule shell, and wherein the capsule shell is swallowable.
