The 58x series were the first Tektronix scopes to use [[distributed deflection plates]] and the last to use [[distributed amplifier]]s for vertical deflection.
The 58x series were the first Tektronix scopes to use [[distributed deflection plates]] and the last to use [[distributed amplifier]]s for vertical deflection.
At 100 MHz (down-rated to 95 MHz in 1962 and 85 MHz for the 581A) with the [[80|Type 80 plug-in]] and up to 85 MHz with the dual-channel [[82|Type 82]],
they were the highest-speed general purpose scopes of Tek's tube scope era (the 1 GHz [[519]] was specialized with no vertical amplifier).


The vertical signal path of the 581 is the same as that of the 585.  It uses the [[T581]] CRT.
