ABSTRACT:
A device for positioning at least one optical component inside an endoscopic system has a housing through which an optical axis of the endoscopic system extends and in which the at least one optical component is arranged. The at least one optical component can be pivoted into the beam path and back out of the beam path about a pivot axis extending substantially parallel to a longitudinal axis of the housing, the at least one optical component being arranged on a support which is pivotable about the pivot axis. A smallest distance of an inside wall of the housing from the pivot axis is smaller than a greatest distance of the pivot axis to an outer edge of the at least one optical component.
