The Keithley 610 Electrometer can measure voltages (with a very high input resistance), very low currents, high resistances and charge. There is a 610BR rack model as well.
The 610 is fully tube-based, with electrometer tubes at the input. The successor model, the Keithley 610B, switched to transistors for the gain stages, and the later Keithley 610C was fully solid-state.
Key Specifications

| Current | 10–13 A to 3 A full scale in 28 ranges (×1/×3), ±3% FS (≤3×10−10 A: ±4% FS) |
| Resistance | 10 Ω to 1014 Ω full scale in 27 linear ranges (×1/×3), ±3% FS (≥3×1010 Ω: ±5% FS) |
| Outputs | Recorder output, 1 mA or 10 V full scale |
| Power | 100−130 V or 200−260 V, 50−60 Hz, 50 W |
Internals
At the core of the 610 is a bootstrapped operational amplifier with a pair of 5886 electrometer tubes at the input and a 12AT7 in the output stage on a +250/–265 V supply.
