- 10:16am
- Bugscope Team janet, we are almost ready for you to test controlling the scope.
- Teacher OK, these presets look great
- Bugscope Team :)
- Bugscope Team scott is doing his magic
- Bugscope Team one more preset, then it's yours, another minute
- Bugscope Team janet, i've unlocked the controls, you can now start controlling the scope
- 10:22am
- Teacher okay, here I go
- Bugscope Team :)
- Bugscope Team very good, you + mag'd
- Bugscope Team click to center
- Bugscope Team click to center. see, works pretty good huh?
- Bugscope Team janet, if you have any questions please feel free to ask
- Teacher yeah, how long do I need to wait for it to grab an image? a couple of seconds?
- Bugscope Team well, i'm not positive, but yes, no more than that. the software automatically grabs images as soon as the image is still. right scott?
- Bugscope Team it should be working right away
- Bugscope Team chas is gone for the moment, he knows for sure how that works.
- Bugscope Team are you not getting images as soon as you send a command?
- Bugscope Team scott, she means how long to wait for the images to be grabbed, so they can be posted on the schools bugscope page, after the session
- Bugscope Team Hi Ferd!
- 10:27am
- Bugscope Team wing scale OOF
- Bugscope Team better better better
- Bugscope Team if the focus doesn't look better in one direction go the other direction
- Bugscope Team you could drop the mag a little so focusing is easier
- Bugscope Team if you are at high mag the step sizes are smaller
- Teacher gotcha
- Bugscope Team it's not so easy but looking better...
- Bugscope Team right on janet
- Bugscope Team oh yeah!
- Bugscope Team nice
- Bugscope Team I think these produce structural colors
- Teacher here they are, be back in a few
- Bugscope Team ah, because of the way the light is focused?
- Bugscope Team we'll see if the other scale looks as good
- Bugscope Team yeah because of the way the lines refract the light
- Bugscope Team let's take it to another place
- 10:32am
- Bugscope Team there is the small moth head
- Bugscope Team all dressed up
- Bugscope Team you can see the huge eyes, the antennae, and the proboscis, curled up with the inside portion spilled out to the left in the image we see
- Bugscope Team and lots of scales
- Bugscope Team like tiny feathers
- Bugscope Team the scales are what make moths and butterflies feel slick
- Bugscope Team hello kids, welcome to bugscope!
- Student What is this
- Bugscope Team please let us know when you have questions
- Student f11
- Bugscope Team this is the head of a small moth
- Bugscope Team this is bugscope, bugs inside an electron microscope
- Student hi
- Bugscope Team Hi!
- Student What the
- Student f11
- Bugscope Team f12
- Student hi
- Bugscope Team isn't F11 a jet?
- Bugscope Team yo jake
- Bugscope Team Hi Jake.
- Student Is this a fly
- Student Hi
- Bugscope Team or F111?
- Bugscope Team hey there sue
- Bugscope Team this is a very small moth
- Student hello tom
- Student what type of bug is this
- Bugscope Team this is the head of a moth
- Student dont know
- Bugscope Team this is a moth, an insect, a very small one
- Student f111
- Student awsome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- Bugscope Team oh good Cars you are becoming more articulate
- Student who know who i am??
- Student hi dexter
- Student color please
- Student thats kind of gross
Bugscope Team what is gross? the bug?
- Student large beetle
- Bugscope Team no who?
- Bugscope Team wait till janet starts controlling the scope, then it gets really cool!
- Student hi brooke
- Student hello
- Student cooleo
- 10:37am
- Student weirdo
- Bugscope Team Sue there is no color when we are working with electrons
- Student yes!
Bugscope Team well, maybe gross to us, but intects are very important to us too.
- Student sue: sue: sue: sue: sue: sue: sue: sue: sue: sue: sue: sue: sue:
- Student hi this is Daniel and Tom
- Student what is that
- Student hello everybody
- Student hi
- Student hi
- Bugscope Team the electrons are very small, and the electron beam is very narrow, about 2.1 nanometers
- Student are those things teeth
- Student hi
- Student i do not know
- Bugscope Team visible light, which has color, is 400 to 700 nanometers
- Student hi cars
- Student werido
- Student cool
- Student hi
- Bugscope Team so we are thinner than visible light
- Student hi
- Student hi Jake
- Student how many bugs have you gone through
Bugscope Team thounsands, i think, in all. but right now we have 4 bugs in the scope.
- Bugscope Team there are tiny toothlike elements on the proboscis here
- Student what is that
- Student how can i see insects??
- Bugscope Team you can see loose scales
- Student what is that
Bugscope Team this is the copiled proboscis on a small moth
- Student freaky
- Bugscope Team angela are you not able to see the images from the electron microscope?
- Student what type of bug is this
- Student ewwwwwwwwwwww
- Student How man
- Bugscope Team this is a moth, a very small one
- Bugscope Team this is the coiled proboscis of the moth, up close
- Student does it have feathers in the mouth
- Bugscope Team an assasin bug eats other bugs
- Student amazing
- Student Wierd
- Student what is that
- Student what is your favorite insect
- Student Amazing
- Bugscope Team it has scales, which are much like feathers, on the area where its mouth is
- Student How many scales does it have?
- Student how can i make a question
Bugscope Team if we choose to specifically answer one of your chat-lines it becomes a question and answer pair. no need to do anything special
- Bugscope Team I like earwigs, flies, lots of bugs
- Student what is that
- Student how many bugs have you gone through
Bugscope Team thousands of bugs in all, but right now there are only 4 bugs in the scope.
- Student hi liane
- Student is this the mouth
- Student i don't know
- Student why can't we get colors
- Student do u ever think the bugs get messy or gross
- Student why can you not do color
Bugscope Team what we percieve as color is the tendency of objects to reflect and absorb different wavelengths of light differently. instead of light, we're hitting the sample with a beam of electrons, which don't posess wavelength quite like light, and thus we only see intensity (B&W)
- Bugscope Team we have gone through hundreds of bugs in about 9 years
- Student Why don't we get color?
- Student cool
- Bugscope Team there is no color when you are working with electrons
- Student scott do you get color
- Student what is that, Scott
- 10:42am
- Student what is it??
- Student oh sorry
- Student hey scott what are those
- Student Scott why cant we have colors
- Bugscope Team they don't see color because the electron beam is thinner than the wavelengths of light that produce the colors we see
- Student scott can you get color at all
Bugscope Team we can add color afterwords, based on elemental analysis of the image.
- Bugscope Team we don't see color, I should say
- Student how many feathers does a moth have scott
- Student no
- Student how many bugs are in the world?
- Bugscope Team you would have to put false colors on the images
- Student wat are the scals made of?
- Student Yeah how many
- Bugscope Team there are trillions of bugs
- Student can you guys see the color over there
Bugscope Team no, we see the same that you see.
- Student Scott what are those holes?
- Student what are scales
- Bugscope Team the scales are made of chitin
- Student scott
- Student oh
- Teacher can we print out these questions and answers for later?
Bugscope Team yes, they and all the chat and images will be available after the session on the member homepage
- Student How many bugs have you looked at, Scott ?
- Student what are those bumpes
- Student sott how big is the light microscope
- Student what are they made of
- Student how many bugs do you do a day?
- Student scott what type of is this
- Student ?
- Bugscope Team this now is a small beetle
- Student chewing mouth.... cool
- Student okay now what are those scott inbetween the ridges on the moth
- Student how many bugs do you do a day
Bugscope Team many thing other than bugs go into the ESEM scope. we normally only put bugs in the scope for bugscope sessions, about once a week.
- Bugscope Team insects are made of carbon hydrogen oxygen nitrogen, like people
- Student Scott are those hairs?
- Student what type of beetle is this scott
- Bugscope Team this is just a small beetle, not sure what kind
- Student what are those hairs Scott
- Student how many teeth does a beetle have alex
- Student scott what does a praing mantis look like in action
- Student what are those hairs
- Bugscope Team there was dust and dirt in between the ridges on the moth scale
- Student It's scary
- Bugscope Team the hairs are called setae
- Student Are those hairs
Bugscope Team some of them may be to keep warm, like most hairs on us. however many are "mechanosensory" or "chemosensory" meaning they are touch sensors or act like noses respectively
- Student loks lik a cactis
- Student does it have teeth
- Student are those hairs
- Student looks like a finger!
- Bugscope Team they are often (the setae) mechanosensory, meaning that the insect uses them to feel its environment
- Student why yes brooke
- 10:47am
- Student Creepy cool
- Student how big is the light microscope
Bugscope Team it is the size of a table, here is a picture of it: http://www.itg.uiuc.edu/ms/equipment/microscopes/esem/
Bugscope Team but it's not a light microscope, it's an electron microscope
- Student that mouth looks like lava
- Student what is that
- Student that's interesting
- Student what is that
- Student sometimes bugs are cute (depending on the kind) but these are scary
- Student Uk
- Bugscope Team except that some setae, as Chas says, are chemo-sensory.
- Student Scott, does it have hair?
- Student weird
- Student Scott what's the glowing?
- Student are those spikes
- Student looks like a mouth
- Bugscope Team we can't really call it hair -- we call the hairs 'setae.'
- Student Scream
- Student is it cool to see them up and big in front of you in big picture
- Student how many times can you microscope in
Bugscope Team the typical range for insects is between ~40 to 20,000 times magnification. The scope is easily capable of 200,000x and when pushed can even do up to 800,000x magnification
Bugscope Team for comparison, a light microscope can only achieve ~2,000x under perfect conditions
- Student its freaky
- Student it looks like an inside out cacti
- Student Looks like honey comb
- Student how many eyes are there scott
- Student Alex is that dust
- Student Wow!
- Student groos
- Student gross
- Bugscope Team and the electrons do not run to ground -- they don't slide across the surface of the sample and go away
- Student what are those bumps
- Student ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- Student ok then
- Student scott is that an eye
- Bugscope Team these are ommatidia -- the individual eye facets
- Student cool
- Bugscope Team yes it's one of the eyes of a moth
- Student it's weird
- Student is thar to a fly
- Bugscope Team you can see that there are hundreds of ommatidia
- Student Is that realy a closeup of a compound eye Scott?
- Student where did you get the name setae
- Student what is that
- Student eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- Student is that the eye of a fly
- Student how much it cost for microscope?
Bugscope Team the ESEM cost $750,00 dollars, right scott?
- Student scott how many eyes are in a compound eyr
Bugscope Team the number depends heavily on the insect. those who depend on their eyes more (flying insects) typically have hundreds or more whereas ants can have fewer than a hundred facets in a compound eye
- Student how many eye circles does it have
- Student do flys eyes look cool in 100 um
- Bugscope Team the glowing now is because the electrons are not shedding fast enough
- Student thankyou scott
- Student Alex are those feathers
- Student it looks like a golf ball
- Student it looks like golf ball\
- Student Is that its eye?!
- Student what is that it's wierd
- Student its not that gross
- Student is that a golf ball
- Student can a moth see well, scott
- Bugscope Team there can be thousands of ommatidia in the compound eyes of a moth
- Student It looks like a mushroom
- Student thats alot!!!!!!!!
- Student yeah
- Student scary
- Bugscope Team the microscope cost around $700,000
- Bugscope Team that was an eye
- Student What is this now?
- Student ew
- Student ahhh
- Student what is that scott
- Bugscope Team this is the claw of one of the moths
- Student no idea
- Student Alex are those feathers
Bugscope Team i think those are scales, not feathers. scales are harder, smaller than feathers.
- 10:52am
- Student Scott thank you for anwering my and every one elsess anwers
- Student that looks like a jelly fish
- Bugscope Team those are not feathers, but they are similar -- they are scales
- Student weirdo is mine
- Student cool
- Bugscope Team we are trying -- thank you!
- Bugscope Team yes you can see that moths have tiny claws
- Student who is i sceam
- Student I scream
- Student I scream
- Student How many setaes are there Scott?
- Bugscope Team for?
- Student Alex what is that web
- Student yeah
- Student to kill there pray
- Student is that a tallon of a hawk
Bugscope Team no, but it looks pretty vicious, huh?
- Student why moth need claw?
Bugscope Team they use it hold onto surfaces like the sides of plants, screens, cloth, etc. anything they can dig those claws into
- Bugscope Team there are thousands of setae
- Student Why do moths need claws?
- Student thankyou scott
- Student a moths claws looks cool
- Student why moths need claws
- Student it looks like a tallon?
- Student lol
- Bugscope Team it is a talon, isn't it? but of a moth
- Student jflgeiuhrailuatgrhguhrtbfhhyghdgajgbabtybzb
- Student ya
- Student Amazing
- Bugscope Team they need them to be able to cling to surfaces
- Student do you kill the bugs first
Bugscope Team most bugs are already dead, but some have survived being in the scope!
- Bugscope Team yes or they are already dead
- Student how come these things are so small
- Student why do beetles need claws
- Bugscope Team sometimes we freeze the insects to kill them
- Student Poor bugs
Bugscope Team well, there are ALWAYS more bugs...
- Student whit is this bug
- Student is that a bird?
- Student You freeze them?
Bugscope Team their metabolisms are temperature dependant, so they essentially just go to sleep and then die
- Student Chas is that dust
Bugscope Team I missed the image you were askign about, but there is typically a lot of dust. If you see little chunks of asymmetric stuff piled together, it's usually dust or dirt
- Bugscope Team the ladybug, this morning, was still alive, so I didn't put it in the 'scope
- Student -A-
- Student if they survive the scope then what
- Bugscope Team yeah for scott!
- Bugscope Team this is another talon
- Teacher okay
- Student True but still..
- Student aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!! uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuukkkkkk!!!!!!!!!!!!
- Student do you let them go
Bugscope Team scott let a ladybug go before the session, so yes.
- Student Hairy
- Student how many claws do they have scott
- Student What on earth is that
- Student ew
- Bugscope Team sometimes if they are tough and resilient we just let them go
- Student awsome
- Student wow
- Student Chas is that holes
- Student why didn't you kill the ladybug
- Bugscope Team they may have two claws on each of six legs
- Student Scott, how many bugs have you froze?
- Student hello
- Student weirdo is mine ;;
- Student hi
- Bugscope Team we would have had to kill it another way and did not have time
- Student who am i
- Student weirdo is mine
- Student what is that
- Student why insects need antenna
Bugscope Team their senses of smell, sight, and sound are typically far less developed than ours. the antennae make up for those deficiencies and are their primary way of getting information about the world around them
- Student thankyou
- Student bugs ARE dirty and covered in things
- Student What is that
- Student what is that
- Bugscope Team like using chloroform or dropping it in ethanol
- Bugscope Team yes they all have spiracles
- Student what is that
- 10:57am
- Student whats that?
- Bugscope Team they can close their spiracles and hold their breath that way
- Student whit is that scott
- Student how do crickets make that sound that htey make
Bugscope Team they rub their legs together
- Student my nickname is nickname
- Student what are spiricales
Bugscope Team they are small holes in the exoskeleton that the insect breaths through. they don't have lungs, so the process is less efficient than us; the air just sort of diffuses through
- Bugscope Team you are a genius
- Student how big is a light on a mirocroscope
- Student no
- Student bla
- Student by
- Student dont stop
- Student it lookslike armor
- Student nonononononononononononononononononononononononononononononononononononononono
- Student bye
- Student bye
- Teacher we are now switching classes
- Student Bye Bye
- Student haha
- Bugscope Team there isn't really a light; it is a cathode ray tube sort of like in the back of a TV
- Bugscope Team good bye, thanks for joinging us! you all are awesome.
- Student by
- Student nonononononononononononononononononono
- Student seya
- Bugscope Team Thank You!
- Teacher I can't seem to make the ant head preset work
- Bugscope Team Hello all, sorry to join late, just got out of class!
- Bugscope Team what happens when you click on the thumbnail?
- Bugscope Team hi annie
- Bugscope Team hi Annie!
- Bugscope Team We are changing classes just now
- Teacher I get the warning you're probably at the max or min of that control
- 11:02am
- Bugscope Team I'm not sure what would cause that. Do other presets work OK?
- Student How did u become in intested in this subject
- Student what is this ?
Bugscope Team the big ball-looking things are leg-joints where the legs are anchoring to the thorax
- Bugscope Team this is the body of a beetle, I think
- Student what bug is this
- Bugscope Team I became interested in insects when I was a little kid. I always collected critters.
- Student i dont think so
- Bugscope Team we need to do to a lower mag to see where we are
- Student this is cool!
- Student what is it
- Student What is this
- Bugscope Team the thorax for sure
- Bugscope Team hi, welcome to bugscope.
- Student wat is that thing
- Student Juliana: Have you ever looked at a Eye ball?
Bugscope Team lots and lots of bug eyes. no human eyes though...
- Bugscope Team can we decrease the magnification a bit so I can give a better ID?
- Bugscope Team professional thorax
- Student hi
- Student hey scott do u like doing this??
- Bugscope Team this is the most fun we have in a week, usually
- Student how did u become intrested
- Bugscope Team This is a carabid beetle...a so-called ground beetle
- Bugscope Team a total kick
- Student How tall is the telescope?
Bugscope Team about 6 feet tall, here is a picture: http://www.itg.uiuc.edu/ms/equipment/microscopes/esem/
- Bugscope Team yep, agree with scott
- Student what are the pointy things
- Student How big is it
Bugscope Team there is a scale bar at the lower left corner of the screen. "um" is micron, or one millionth of a meter
- Bugscope Team Annie was right -- it was a prothorax
- Student thats wierd
- Student is that dead
Bugscope Team Quite dead
- Student how much is this zooming in?
- Student ty
- Student Talitha:What do ant legs look like up close?
Bugscope Team They look very similar to the legs of this beetle...perhaps a little thinner. Ants probably have a different number of tarsal segments and different setae.
- Student what insect is it
- Student how little is it
- Bugscope Team 64X, you can see in the upper right, under the magnify
- 11:07am
- Bugscope Team this is low mag right now
- Student Wow really how did u do this
- Student g2g
- Student how long did it take to make this happen
Bugscope Team it's happening right now. there is about 25 minutes worth of prep work getting the sample ready and in the microscope. now the 'scope is running and you're getting images back in real time
- Student How big is the microscope
Bugscope Team it is the size of a table, here is a picture: http://www.itg.uiuc.edu/ms/equipment/microscopes/esem/
- Student are those hairs
- Student what is this
- Student wow you froze it?
- Student what kind of microscope is it
Bugscope Team this is a scanning electron microscope. it scans a beam of electrons across the sample surface and records signal coming back. it's advantage is much higher resolution over light microscopy
- Student is that why it is gray?
- Bugscope Team it took about a half hour to put the stub together with the samples on it
- Student how many times can it magnify
Bugscope Team up to 800,00 times in some instances, allthough then you wouldn't see much at all
- Student how big is the mickroskop
- Bugscope Team this is a scanning electron microscope
- Student cool
- Student did you freeze them
- Student how long did u like bugs for
- Student wow
- Student wow
- Student wow
- Student wow
- Student what is this bug
- Student Does it take a long time to produce these images?
Bugscope Team you're seeing them in real-time as they're collected. they can even be viewed at a video-rate, although the longer you let it scan each image the less noisy they become
- Student how big is the microscope
- Student What kind of beetle is this
Bugscope Team This is a beetle from the family Carabidae, the ground beetles
- Bugscope Team bugs are just fun to work with
- Bugscope Team Carabids, like this beetle, are generally considered beneficial insects because they eat other insects
- Student how many bugs do you have?
- Student what's up
- Bugscope Team you are making the images in real time, R2-D2
- Student wat are those spiny things
Bugscope Team The little flaky things look like moth scales. Perhaps this beetle was in a container with a moth
- Student what are these pictures of
- Student is this bug big
- Student how big i s the biggest bug
- Student do you like working here
Bugscope Team I don't technically work at Beckman, I am a graduate student and I help out with Bugscope. And I really like it!
- Bugscope Team the samples are in a vacuum chamber, and we are using a narrow beam of electrons to look at them
- Student what insect is it
- Student What kind of ant is this?
- Bugscope Team so there is no color
Bugscope Team we percieve two things, intensity and color. intensity is an amount, and color depends on the wavelength of the light. when working with electrons, they are "monochromatic", meaning only one wavelength, so all we see is intensity, a.k.a B&W
- Student Juliana: what is the big picture of?
- Student can isee its legs?
- Student this is ruth talking can u show me abee??
- Student where are you guys at
- Bugscope Team this is a carabid beetle, as Annie said
- Student a bee
- Student how long does this take
- Student why is it gray
- Student what color is this bug
- Bugscope Team Ruth I am sorry we have no bees in the 'scope this morning
- Bugscope Team we are in urbana, illinois. beckman institute.
- Student Juliana: were do you find so of the bugs
- Student A beetle
- Bugscope Team the bug was multicolored
- Bugscope Team I love working here.
- Student this is wierd
- Student wat kind of bugs can u show us
Bugscope Team we only have a few bugs available in the microscope this morning, but there are many more in the archives of our previous sessions as well as in our Virtual Microscope software (http://virtual.itg.uiuc.edu)
- Student this is so cool!
- Bugscope Team we have an ant, two moths, two beetles, ...
- Student I have never seen a bug up this close
- Student beetle
- Bugscope Team this is the scale of a butterfly or moth
- Student it is weard!
- Student what insect is it
- Student ok this is Ruth again can u show me a cool bug though I LOVE BUGS
- Student Talitha: How many workers work at the lab?
- Student what are those thorns
- Student is this a beetle
- Bugscope Team the scales are sort of like feathers are to a bird
- 11:12am
- Bugscope Team thorns?
- Bugscope Team yes, this is a beetle, a scale of a beetle
- Student what is this
- Student What color was it originally?
- Bugscope Team we have seen most of the smaller insects and arthropods, I think
- Student ok
- Student is there a mantis?
- Student How big is the microscope???
Bugscope Team the size of a table, here is a picture: http://www.itg.uiuc.edu/ms/equipment/microscopes/esem/
- Student can you magnify a hair
- Bugscope Team I am not sure what color this scale was
- Student What is the size of the smallest insect
Bugscope Team The smallest adult insect is a tiny wasp, called a Fairyfly. The smallest is 0.21 mm
- Student what has to be ur favoite bug working with??
- Bugscope Team hairs are easy to magnify
- Student Juliana: how do you no what the insect is? Do you look at a book or what
- Student is this a beetle
- Bugscope Team my favorites are ticks, I think
- Student how big is the microscope
- Student what kind of insects have you seen?
- Student I never knew beetles had scales
- Bugscope Team i like mites
- Bugscope Team this is the face of an ant
- Bugscope Team ant facebook
- Student What is that its so so so so so cool
- Student is that spit
- Bugscope Team it has a lot of juju in its mouth here
- Student what is this
- Student amie hrer
- Student that's cool
- Bugscope Team yeah it is sort of like spit
- Student how much are you zooming in?
- Student what other insects do you have
- Student do those kill them
- Student what is it eating
- Student Cool ant close up
- Student what ii that
- Student Talitha: What is the biggest snake you ever seen?
- Student Can you produce color images?
- Bugscope Team now 66X, you can see the mag in the upper right
- Student what they eat
- Student please never leave please
- Student is that a brain
- Bugscope Team can you see the micron bar, on the bottom left?
- Student zoom in all the way!
- Student wats the biggest bug
Bugscope Team There is some debate, but generally it is agreed that the Titan beetle, from the Amazon in South America is the largest insect. I have seen specimens that are about 8 cm.
- Bugscope Team no color, because we are imaging using electrons, which are smaller than the wavelegth of light that we can see
- Student amie here i think ticks are mean and dangois
- Student no!
- Student are there yellow jacket
- Student What kind of bugs do you exsperement
- Student what is this kind of bug
- Student hello!!
- Bugscope Team bacteria are often 2 microns long
- Student Juliana: What is the biggest insect or bug that you've ever seen?
- Bugscope Team hi amie
- Student these are awesome
- Bugscope Team this is an ant
- Student hi
- Student whats up
- Student hey
- Bugscope Team lobster
- Student Have you magnified the Goliath Bird-Eating Spider?
- Student hi cullen
- Student What is the biggest bug in the world?
- Student how do u like it over there\
- Student coooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool
- Student hi ben
- Student Hi duds
- Student cooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool
- Student how much weight can ants hold
- Student stop talking zack and ian
- Bugscope Team some bugs are just way too big to fit in the microscope
- Student whats your favorite insect
- Student coolieo
- Student hi jackob
- Bugscope Team I like earwigs
- Student how big is the eye
- Student hi
- Student JULIANA; HELLO!
- Bugscope Team go look at the eye and we can tell how big it is
- 11:18am
- Student what is that?
- Bugscope Team nice imaging
- Student is there a red ant
- Student werdo ben
- Student wat is your favorite bug
- Bugscope Team this is the thorax of the ant -- a black ant
- Student hello ppl
- Student is that hair??
- Student is that hair
- Bugscope Team earwigs are my favorite right now
- Teacher we are lookng for a spiracle, will we find one here on the ant?
- Bugscope Team we put bugs in the scope for bugscope, but other times scientists put other things in the scope, like metals or molecules.
- Bugscope Team We have to keep Alex away from the beetles.
- Student how much can an ant carry at a time??
- Student i agree
- Bugscope Team me likie beetles.
- Student JULIANA: WHAT IS THE PICHURE OF?
Bugscope Team This..well, it was a super close up of an ant thorax
- Student Yeah
- Student holy ants
- Student lol
- Student is that hair?
- Student hihihihi whats the wierdest and biggest bug
- Student is threre a ear?
- Student Have you ever magnified a bird eating spiders fangs
- Bugscope Team we can make 3D images, but it takes time
- Student is it cool where you work?
- Bugscope Team seate
- Bugscope Team moth eye
- Bugscope Team setae
- Student wow
- Bugscope Team d'oh!
- Student how often is the bugscope used in a day
- Student whats ur favorite insect u have worked with??
Bugscope Team I work with longhorned beetles...which I like the best
- Student scott
- Bugscope Team oops, setae, me no likie spellie
- Student IS that real
- Student sweat!
- Student is this a fly?
