The present invention refers to an otoscope (10) comprising a handle portion (12) allowing a user to manipulate the otoscope (10) during its application； and a head portion (14) exhibiting a substantially tapering form extending along a longitudinal axis (A) of the head portion (14), wherein the head portion (14) has a proximal end (16) adjacent to the handle portion (12) and a smaller distal end (18) configured to be introduced in an ear canal of a patient's outer ear. The otoscope (10) further comprises an optical electronic imaging unit positioned at the distal end (18) of the head portion (14), especially at a distal tip (35) of the head portion (14), wherein the electronic imaging unit (40) exhibits at least one optical axis (X； X1, X2) which is positioned radially offset from the longitudinal axis (A), and wherein the distal end (18) is configured for accommodating the electronic imaging unit (40) in such a way that the radial offset (r1 ) can be maximum with respect to the diameter of the distal end (18).
