Today you can find cathode ray tubes (crts) in TVs that are not plasma or LCD, along with some microwave ovens. They are also used in ATM machines, security cameras, and oscilloscopes among other things.
Thomson observed cathode rays with every element because cathode rays are composed of electrons, which are fundamental particles present in all atoms regardless of the element. When a high voltage is applied in a vacuum tube, electrons are emitted from the cathode and accelerate toward the anode, creating cathode rays. This universal presence of electrons in all elements allowed Thomson to consistently detect cathode rays across different materials. His experiments demonstrated that these rays were not dependent on the type of gas or metal used in the cathode.
Cathode rays are negatively charged particles that move in curved paths in the presence of a magnetic field. The direction and curvature of the cathode rays can be controlled by adjusting the strength and orientation of the magnetic field. This phenomenon is known as the magnetic deflection of cathode rays and is used in devices like cathode ray tubes.
Cathode rays are electrons.

cathode rays can emit electrons anode can collect them
In the absence of magnetic fields, cathode rays will continue to travel in a straight line. Magnetic fields can be used to deflect or focus cathode rays, but without these fields, the electrons will not be influenced and will travel unaffected.
Goldstein used a gas discharge tube which had a perforated cathode. When a high electrical potential of several thousand volts is applied between the cathode and anode, faint luminous "rays" are seen extending from the holes in the back of the cathode. These rays are beams of particles moving in a direction opposite to the "cathode rays," which are streams of electronswhich move toward the anode. Goldstein called these positive rays Kanalstrahlen, "channel rays" or "canal rays", because they were produced by the holes or channels in the cathode
Cathode rays are electron beams.
Thomson observed cathode rays regardless of the element tested because cathode rays are composed of electrons, which are fundamental particles present in all atoms. When a voltage is applied in a vacuum tube, electrons are emitted from the cathode and travel toward the anode, creating the rays. This universality in the presence of electrons explains why he consistently saw cathode rays across different elements. Thus, the experiment demonstrated that electrons are a common component of all matter.
Positive rays are called canal rays because they are positively charged particles emitted by the anode and accelerated through a small canal or channel in the cathode of a cathode ray tube. These rays were discovered by Eugen Goldstein and were later studied by J.J. Thomson.
A modern day name for cathode rays is an electrons.
The electric field was used to deflect the cathode rays in a cathode ray tube. By measuring the amount of deflection and knowing the strength of the electric field, the charge-to-mass ratio of the particles in the cathode rays could be calculated. This allowed for the determination of the charge of the particles in the cathode ray.
