1. An endoscope tip part for an endoscope, the endoscope tip part comprising:
a tip housing defining an interior cavity, the tip housing including a window having an exterior window surface facing an exterior of the endoscope tip part and an interior window surface facing the interior cavity; and
a vision assembly accommodated in the interior cavity and including:
an imaging subassembly comprising an image sensor with a view in an optical direction through the window;
a light source comprising an illumination surface to emit light in an illumination direction;

an electrical circuit connected to the light source and the image sensor; and
a frame component supporting, and fixing positions of, the imaging subassembly and the light source relative to each other, the frame component comprising a monolithic, one-piece, part including a light shielding wall, an intermediate collar, a proximal collar spaced apart from the intermediate collar, and an upper supporting surface extending between the proximal collar and the intermediate collar, the intermediate collar spaced apart from the light shielding wall, the light shielding wall made of an opaque material and including an end wall extending transversely to the optical direction and a side wall connected to and extending distally from the end wall, the imaging subassembly positioned distally of the end wall, and the light shielding wall extending between the image sensor and the light source so as to at least partially shield the image sensor from light emitted from the light source.
