The '''Tektronix 316''' is a 10 MHz three-inch scope [[introduced in 1959]], similar to the [[317]].
The '''Tektronix 316''' is a 10 MHz three-inch scope [[introduced in 1959]], similar to the [[317]].
It was designed by [[Ron Olson]].


The main difference is that the 317 has more CRT accelerating voltage (9 kV versus 1.8 kV) for a brighter, sharp display.
