An endoscope includes a main unit and a shaft, connected to the main unit, which extends along a longitudinal axis. The shaft includes a jacket tube, an inner tube for receiving an objective lens, and a bundle of fibre-optic light guides. The inner tube includes, at a distal end, an inner tube head which includes a first bearing section and a second bearing section, which is connected to the first bearing section by a connecting element. The first bearing section includes a first bearing surface, against which the bundle of fibre-optic light guides abuts, and the second bearing section includes a second bearing surface, against which the bundle of fibre-optic light guides abuts, wherein, to align the bundle of fibre-optic light guides at the distal end, an area of the first bearing surface and/or an area of the second bearing surface run non-parallel to the longitudinal axis.
