Abstract

For the miniaturization of an investigation instrument (1), which includes a sensor (3), which is arranged in the interior of a long shaft (2) and is electrically contact-connected by a connection (8), it is provided that a flexible bending section (10) is configured on the connection (8), and is thus connected with a contact-connection section (9), which is contact-connected with contacts (4) of the sensor (3) on the reverse side such that, firstly, the entire connection (8) is arranged in the shadow of the image sensor (3) and, secondly, the bending section (10) originates from the contact-connection section (9) within a field (5) which is subtended by the reverse-side contacts (4) of the sensor (3).
