Sure you can.
Differential probes, or single ended probes and a diff plug in,
or, a two channel plug in, or front end, in differential mode.

(OK: Need 4 channels, to make a 2 diff channels that way....)

(hint:
diff mode, however derived, is REAL HANDY for other purposes
around high 'noise' fields..)
