I've been told that holding a couple of magnets external to an oscilloscope
might show the presence of the electronium (*e-) particle with a mass of twice
that of the electron (same charge) as a dim spot or line separated from the more
intense electron spot or trace.
The magnetic field passing through the front portion of the CRT need only be
about 20 gauss or so, depending on the voltage of the CRT.
