These probes were [[Introduced in 1955]] along with the [[541|Type 541]] and [[545|Type 545]] scopes because at 30MHz the [[P510|P510A]]'s 50-ohm coax cable exhibited unacceptable ringing due to the impedance mismatch at the scope's 1 MΩ input. It uses a special cable with a very thin, high-resistance center conductor which creates a better impedance match. All subsequent high-impedance probes use this kind of cable. | These probes were [[Introduced in 1955]] along with the [[541|Type 541]] and [[545|Type 545]] scopes because at 30MHz the [[P510|P510A]]'s 50-ohm coax cable exhibited unacceptable ringing due to the impedance mismatch at the scope's 1 MΩ input.
