I heartily endorse what the others have said about scope probes. And
there is a big difference between Tek probes and commodity probes. A
quick Web search shows this is an 80 MHz scope, so a good probe will be
necessary if you want to get the most out of it. A lot of Tek probes
show up on eBay. They're pretty rugged, so your chances of getting a
good one are probably better than for a lot of other electronic
equipment. Check your scope's input capacitance, and make sure the probe
you get is compatible with it. You should be able to find input C specs
for most common probes on the probe manufacturer's web site or elsewhere
on the Web. If this is a two-channel scope, it's a very good idea to get
two probes of the same type and cord length. You might want an
additional probe for the external trigger. This one can be lower quality
without having a big impact.
