- 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?
