I need to buy a probe for my oscilloscope which is 60 MHZ.

My question is can I buy a probe that rated 100 MHZ or must I make sure
it is rated 60 MHZ the same as my system?

Thanks

The 100 MHZ probe will work fine. The 60 MHZ specification on your
scope means its vertical amplifier and display will start to degrade
at 60 MHZ or higher in frequency. Therefore using a probe with a 60
MHZ rating will allow you to realize all of your scope's capabilities.
