trace?
No problem!

Setup - 10mm unbiased silicon photo diode connected to the vertical input
(1M) through 3' of coax and facing the CRT thus looking at its own output.
All the lights in the room were out
Scope Tek 465 at 5mV/div vert 5ms / div hor.
Explain big and small wiggles in the trace.
I'm going to win my own transistors back Scope is free
running. As the dot moves closer to the photo diode, more
light falls on it, thus the trace rises. The jaggies are
caused by the graticule, which decreases the amount of light
when the dot passes behind it.
