Your voltage probe appears to not have a compensation for the poor frequency
response that results if you connect a high resistance resistor to a load
that has some capacitance, even parasitic (with that construction, possibly
you can add a small capacitance in parallel with the resistors by placing
an adjustable metal plate in the other side of the circuit board). 
You don't say also what are those operational amplifiers, that may be not 
fast enough for accurate measurements.
