Passive Oscilloscope probes

accessories > probes > oscilloscope probes > passive probes

Pico’s ergonomically designed oscilloscope probes are suitable for use with all major brands of oscilloscopes as well as the Pico range of PC Oscilloscopes.

60 MHz Oscilloscope probe x1/x10

This high quality general purpose oscilloscope probe, has a 60MHz bandwidth. A two position slide switch allows attenuation of either x1 or x10 to be selected. Please note that the x10 function will not work with the ADC-10 or ADC-12 as the input impedance of these devices is not the same as a standard oscilloscope.
