An endoscope has a tubular shaft whose interior contains components, in particular lenses, spacers, diaphragms, prisms and filters of an optical system, said components being at least partially surrounded by a support piece made of shrunk material. It is proposed that the components be surrounded by a transparent and tube-sleeve-shaped shrunk material which has been shrunk before the components are introduced into the tubular shaft.

Endoscope and method for assembling components of an optical system

Distance holder for lenses, which in terms of shape or material structure is configured in such a way that it exerts a slight notching effect on lenses on contact surfaces between a distance holder and a lens, so that the lens surface is less easily damaged.
