Ein Endoskop (10) mit einstellbarer Blickrichtung (21, 22) umfasst eine einer Mehrzahl von Lichtaustrittseinrichtungen (32 , 42, 52) am distalen Ende (11) des Endoskops (10). wobei die Lichtausrittseinrichtungen (32, 42, 52) ausgebildet und angeordnet sind, um aus verschiedenen Lichtaustrittseinrichtungen (32, 42, 52) austretendes Beleuchtungslicht in zumindest teilweise unterschiedliche Raumwinkelberiche (34, 44, 54) zu leiten, mehrere Lichtwellenleiter (30, 40, 50) zum Leiten von Beleuchtungslicht zu den Lichtaustrittseinrichtungen (32, 42, 52) und eine Lichtweicheneinrichtung (60; 70; 80) zum steuerbaren Einkoppeln von Beleuchtungslicht in eine oder mehrere der Mehrzahl von Lichtwellenleiter (36).The endoscope with adjustable viewing angle, comprises: light outlet devices on the distal end of the endoscope, where the light outlet devices are configured and positioned to conduct illuminating light emerging from different light outlet devices into partly different solid angles; lightwave conductors (30, 40, 50) for conducting illuminating light to the light outlet devices; a light splitting device (60) for controllably switching illuminating light into the lightwave conductors. The light splitting device includes: a prism (62, 63, 64, 65) that is moveable into positions.
