Have you ever used an analog storage scope? THOSE are weird! The only scope camera I've ever used was a polaroid type - produced black and white polaroid photos, and it had a hood which mounted to the scope's screen bezel and made contacts for (I think) both power and sweep signal. One of Cornell's undergrad physics teaching labs still used these in 1997. We used them to capture a shot of the turn-on transient of an incandescent light bulb filament.
