In a situation like this, macro focus is the most important factor. Currently, Canon is the class leader in macro capability, with several cameras that allow you to focus on objects that are actually touching the lens. Of course, in many situations this isn't exactly helpful as the lens blocks out light, but with the proper lighting the capability is astonishing. Models that make use of this feature include the Powershot S2 IS and S3 IS. Several other Canons allow macro focusing as close as 1cm, including the Powershot G7, A630, A640, A700, and A710 IS. All of these are fantastic cameras and will serve you well.
If Canons aren't your thing, nearly every major manufacturer offers models with decent macro modes--there are dozens that can do the job you need them to. If you have other things to take into consideration when making your choice (price, megapixels, zoom, etc), you can let me know and I'll try to narrow your choices further. However, all of the models I've listed above are excellent. Good luck!
