 | | In time-domain mode, the usual mode, the horizontal deflection is proportional to time (measured out by a "sweep oscillator" in the oscilloscope), and the vertical deflection is proportional to the measured signal. |
 | | Unless the display is regularly cleaned with a dry cloth or special cleaning tissue (using ordinary household cleaners may damage anti-glare protective layer on the screen), after a few months the brightness and clarity of the image drops significantly. |
 | | While this accelerating voltage is high (typically from 7kV to 50kV depending on screen size, monochrome or color, direct view or projection), both the capacitance and flyback current are small (on the order of picofarads and nanoamperes respectively), so shocks from the accelerating voltage are typically embarrassing and painful but usually harmless. |
