The Tektronix 2225 is a 50 MHz dual-channel analog scope.

It has a single timebase with a ×5/×10/×50 magnifier that allows displaying normal and magnified traces together on the screen, but has no delay feature, only an X position control.

The Y inputs feature a ×10 magnifier that decreases bandwidth to 5 MHz but increases sensitivity to 0.5 mV/Div.

There is a 2225ST model that adds digital storage. Further information needed

A 2205 equipped with option 07 (internal DC inverter) can be powered ≥3 hours from an 1104A battery.

The 2225 was known internally as Euroscope. It was initially developed in Hoddesdon, UK and then produced in Tek's Heerenveen facility.

Internals

The 2225 power supply uses a 120-1630-00 mains-frequency toroidal transformer to produce a 60 V DC supply, followed by two TL494-driven switching regulators.

The scope uses transistor array ICs like the CA3102, CA3046 and CA3054, but no Tek custom ICs.
