pulse question

[jack]

I have a 60 Mhz scope and would like to see a short (15 ns) pulse with
it. I know from previous discussions here that this is impossible as
my scope is way to slow. My question is whether I will see anything at
all ,even a degraded pulse or will there be nothing at all? Thanks
for any help. jack

The risetime of a 60 MHz scope is about 6 ns, so a 15 ns pulse will be
perfectly visible. It will look a tad soft about the corners, but will
clearly be a pulse.
