TETRIS® high-impedance active oscilloscope probes

• The TETRIS® probes are independent of any particular system, and with their standard BNC connector, they can be plugged into any measuring instrument with a 50 Ω input. With an input resistance of 1 MΩ and an input capacitance of 0.9 pF the TETRIS® probes are suitable for measurements in all frequency ranges. Unlike passive probes the TETRIS® active probes offer a high input impedance into the GHz range. These characteristics make it the ideal probe for most of your daily measurements.
