564B
The Tektronix 564B is a solid-state facelift of the tube-based 564 storage scope, introduced in 1969.
It takes two 2- or 3-series plug-ins.
The screen has bi-stable storage in two 4 cm × 10 cm sections, allowing independent saving and erasing of the upper and lower half.

Internals
As in all 560 series scopes, the left plug-in directly drives the vertical deflection plates of the CRT, and the right plug-in directly drives the horizontal deflection plates.
The 564B is solid-state except for the CRT. It has a 175 °F (~80 °C) thermal cut-out.
Accessories
The 012-0102-00 Storage Oscilloscope Control Unit that works with the 549 also works with the 564B but not the 564. It provides (corded) remote reset of the sweep and independent erase of the upper and lower storage areas.
