Tektronix has been in business for over sixty years, and this is one of their early products, based on the roll film chamber from a Polaroid Model 150.

I currently have a TDS220 with a FFT module and some old 400Mhz probes. Great little (and it's little) scope. But I miss the big Analog CRT models. Owned a bunch over the years. They were much faster for many applications. Also had a Tek SA, but sold it sometime back.
When sending screen images to friends, I just do it with whichever digital camera is close to me.
I saw those cameras in surplus catalogs for years, you couldn't give them away.
I'm pretty sure that camera would have fit my old 465

"There is something to be said about looking at a signal directly on an analog scope. What you see is what is really there. In a digital scope, the signal is sampled, stored, processed, and then reconstructed on an LCD screen for viewing. What you see is a highly modified version of the actual input. So just how close is the actual signal to what you are seeing?"
