The '''Tektronix 3A9''' is a differential amplifier plug-in [[introduced in 1969]] for [[560-series scopes]].
It shares similarities with the [[7A22]] from the [[7000-series scopes|7000 series]] and [[26A2]] (2600 series).
It shares similarities with the [[3A10]] transducer amplifier and the [[7A22]] from the [[7000-series scopes|7000 series]] and [[5A22N]] [[5000-series scopes]].
