An endoscope including: a shaft having an outer tube and an inner tube, the inner tube being arranged inside the outer tube； and a contact-free magnetic coupling. The contact-free magnetic coupling including: an outer coupling part arranged concentrically with the outer tube, the outer coupling part being arranged outside the outer tube in a radial direction； and an inner coupling part arranged concentrically with the inner tube, the inner coupling part being arranged inside the inner tube in the radial direction； and one or more of light-guiding fibers and electrical conductors are disposed longitudinally within a gap between the outer tube and the inner tube. Where the inner coupling part is configured to be one or more of translatorily and rotationally moved by means of a magnetic operative connection between the outer coupling part and the inner coupling part； and the magnetic operative connection through the gap is rotationally non-symmetric.
