Keithley Electrometer probe

Hello, folks. I'm casually in the market for an electrometer, likely a Keithley 610B (suggestions welcomed).

Most of the ones I see for sale do not come with any probe.

Can one use a regular oscilloscope probe?

Thanks.

Hi Peter,
What is your application?
They don't normally come with a "probe". The input is just a SO-239 "UHF" socket. Divider type oscilloscope probes won't work with a 610 as they are voltage devices intended to connect to a 1Megohm input impedance.
The manual for the 610C is on the Keithley site.
