The Tektronix Type D is a plug-in for 500-series scopes.
It has high gain, and the bandwidth depends on the gain, ranging from 2MHz at 50mV/div and up, to 300kHz at 1mV/div. It displays the difference between two input signals, with a common-mode rejection ratio of 10,000. It has six tubes, on a shock-mounted subchassis to avoid microphonics.
Type D was introduced with the 531 and 535 in 1954 as Type 53D, was briefly renamed Type 53D/54D in 1955 with the introduction of the 541 and [[545], then quickly renamed Type 53/54D, then shortened to Type D in 1959 with the introduction of the 5xxA scopes.
