Bugscope Team good morning!
Bugscope Team welcome to Bugscope!
Bugscope Team we are done making presets, so if you would like to drive you are welcom
Bugscope Team um 'welcome'

Bugscope Team with the wing scales it is best if we tweak the focus from here since the scales are not very stable under the electron beam
Bugscope Team you can see the lattice of one single scale now
Bugscope Team the shape/size and periodicity of those features forms structural colors

9:51am
Bugscope Team sometimes we also see pigment granules within the lattice
Bugscope Team wing scales can produce both structural and pigment derived colors
Bugscope Team please let us know if you have any trouble driving, and let us know, of course, whenever you have questions about what you're seeing

9:57am
Bugscope Team can you read this, Janet?
