If you've ever wanted to know what a pancake lens looks like on the inside (hint, the actual glass is really really small) - Petapixel tear apart the Olympus 17mm f2.8 m/43 mount and the Sony 18mm f2.8 E mount.

Lots of pictures inside - they actually show very detailed pics of every stage of the disassembly.
I was very surprised at how small the glass actually is, compared to say a standard zoom lens, and also how simple the construction is inside. I guess that's how they manage to make it so compact and flat.
