Tektronix C-5B Oscilloscope Polaroid Camera With Flash Adjustment

The Tektronix C-5B Oscilloscope Polaroid Camera with Flash Adjustment captures permanent photographs of oscilloscope CRT displays using Polaroid instant film, designed to photograph displays without an external camera. It mounts on Tektronix oscilloscopes and compatible CRT instruments to document waveforms, transient events, and measurement results, with an integrated Xenon graticule flash, adjustable flash intensity, and a ready LED indicator for flash readiness. Key specs include a Polaroid CB101 Pack Film Back that accepts Polaroid Pack Film (Type 667 or equivalent when available), a fixed-focus three-element lens at f/16, and an electronic shutter with a 0.1–5 s range, powered by four AA batteries (6 V total) and a hinged CRT viewing door for display alignment. Common applications span electronics laboratories, calibration facilities, educational institutions, semiconductor research labs, and production test stations for equipment documentation, troubleshooting, quality assurance, and archival waveform records.
