- Guestwhat are we suppose to be doing?
- Bugscope TeamWe might have to wait 'til Chas gets back on.
- Studentguests*
- Bugscope TeamThere...we lost guests but got another student, welcome John
- Bugscope TeamS and J when you are ready, someone in your class can drive the electron microscope to see the insects/arthropods you sent us.
- Guestcan we control the microscope?
- Bugscope TeamPresently Ms B has control of the microscope.
- Guestyes
- Bugscope Teamthere should be something that says if you are not a guest, click here maybe
- Studenthey buddy boys big rick here

- Bugscope Teama mouthpart
- Bugscope Teamthere are presets on the lower right that you can choose from if you wish to look at a specific bug
- Studentinsane
- GuestWhat is this supposed to be?
- Guestwe did not send a ladybug
- Bugscope Teambut you can take the mag down to see where you are .

- StudentWhat ur thingy
- StudentWeird
- Studentdidnt get u a present but watever
- Bugscope Teamthis is the face of the dragonfly
- Studentryan is big rick
- GuestHi everybody
- Guestthanks molly!!!
- Bugscope TeamChas...I am not sure how to take myself of...I am up on the admin list twice
- Guestgross!
- Guestwhen can we take pictures?
- Bugscope Teamyou can use click to center or click to drive to move around
- Studentwho's lyle15
- Studentmy toe iches
- Bugscope Teamyou are taking pictures as you drive the 'scope -- all of the images are being saved.
- Studentsheridan
- Bugscope Teamusually click to center gives you more control in your movements
- Guestryan!
- Bugscope TeamBig Rick...thanx for sharing
- Bugscope Teamthe spikes are setae
- Studentur welcome smiley
- Guestwhats with the hair?
- Studentwho's smiley2
- Guesthow old is scott?
- Bugscope Teamsetae are "insect hairs"
- Guestwhy do they have hair???
Bugscope Teamsetae serve as sensors because insects have exoskeletons
- Bugscope TeamLater Alex =)
- Bugscope TeamMs B we have given Soph and Jess control of the 'scope. Let us know when you would like someone else to be able to drive.
- StudentLj is a loser
- Bugscope TeamScott is old, DaddyO.
- Guesti am not
- 8:45 am
- Guesti
- Guesthow much money does scott make?
- Studentlauren is a cripple loser
- Guestlauren is AWESOME!!!
- Studentyeah
- Studentsoo is it like feel or like antennae?
- Guestdon't be mean
- Bugscope Teamthe hair (setae) allows them to sense their environment through the cuticle -- through the exoskeleton.
- TeacherJonh is ready to control the scope. Thanks!
- Bugscope TeamCate2, how do you answer questions in the way you just did
- Studentlets go john
- Guestyaya John
- GuestIt has hexagons on it
- Bugscope Teamnice close-up of a compound eye
- Guestword
- Studentsoph and jess what losers
- Guesthows the weather there fellas?
- Bugscope Teameach one of the hexagons is an omatitia
- Bugscope TeamPeter some of the setae are mechanosensory and some are chemosensory.
- Guestchange image please
- Guestexuse meeeeeeee
- Guestwhat are we looking at
- Studentya
- Bugscope Teamsome setae allows the insects to feel the environment, others allow the insects to taste the environment
- Studentkj is a loser
- Bugscope TeamSoph and Jess did a good job driving -- with no instruction.
- Guestthank you
- Studentway to go
- Studentsoooo is kerri
- Guesteye of what?
- Bugscope Teamyes it's the compound eye of the dragonfly.
- Guest??????
- Guestwhat is that?
- Guestsweeeet
- Guestwhat?
- Guestam not!!!
- Bugscope Teamthat in the top middle of the screen is a scale
- Studentum yess
- GuestWhat am I looking at here?
- Guestummmm i think NOT!!!!
- Bugscope Teamthose hair-like structures coming out at you are the setae
- Guestdont b mean to the b-day girl!!!!
- Studentyea u r
- Studenthow old r u????
- Studentum i think yess
- Guestewwww this is gross!!
- Guesti am not a loser!!
- Bugscope Teamthis is the end of one of the limbs of the shield bug -- the big green dude you sent
- Guestu r
- Bugscope Teamyou can decrease the mag and see more of the insect
- Bugscope Teamthere's a butterfly or moth scale stuck there
- Guestcool
- Bugscope TeamCarebear...even though u think it is gross...is it not amazing what we can see under the electron microscope
- Bugscope Teamyes that is a good idea -- try taking the mag down, John.
- Studentim sry carebear
- Studentcant tell what that is
- Bugscope Teamthis cannot go in color Jamal -- we are using electrons rather than light to collect images
- Studentk
- Bugscope Teamyou can also adjust the focus if you want
- Studentewwwww i think thats a germ maybe
- Guestwhats that?
- Bugscope Teameverything you are doing is directly affecting our electron microscope in our lab
- Bugscope Teamthere -- now if you drop the mag further you can get some perspective
- Bugscope Teamsetae again
- GuestI think John's working on it, he's having issues
- Bugscope Teamlooking betetr
- 8:50 am
- Bugscope Teambetter*
- Bugscope TeamJohn is having trouble driving?
- Studentif u have an issue, grab a tissue
- Bugscope TeamLet us know how we can help.'
- Studentnice words
- Studentlet*
- Bugscope Teamwhen using click to drive, you have to click again to stop
- Bugscope TeamGot it BR.
- Guestclick stop
- Studenti think hes gt it now
- Bugscope TeamBig Rick now has control.
- StudentJohn is not a good driver
- Studentgo big rick
- Bugscope Teamnice...taking the mag down...so we know where we are =)
- Bugscope TeamJohn it is not so easy to do remotely like this.
- Guestbig rick what are we looking at?
- Studentya i noticed
- Bugscope Teamthis is oops back to the preset.
- Bugscope Teamif you find click to drive hard, you can try click to center, it gives you a littler more control, you just can't move as far so fasdt
- Guestare those feet
- Bugscope TeamWhoever is driving always has access to the presets, which show up to the right of the chat box when you have control.
- Guestwhat is it?
- Bugscope Teamyeah those are feet, and they are hairy
- Bugscope TeamRikity: you are right...those are parts of the leg
- Bugscope Teamthis is the shield bug, Hemiptera.
- Bugscope TeamThe face.
- Bugscope TeamWhere is Annie...she could tell us all baout it?
- Guestwoah! the face is WEIRD!!!!
- Studentwhoa
- Guestwhat is it?
- Guestyikes
- Bugscope TeamMouth of shield bug from under neath
- Guestthat leg looks like a cactus
- Studentthat things a hairy beast
- Bugscope TeamCate2: I cannot type very well either...look at my second nickname..
- Bugscope Teamthose are tenent setae, I think
- Bugscope Teamjust to the right you can see part of the compound eye
- Guestprickly!
- Bugscope Teamyeah
- Bugscope TeamJamal: Most insects are covered with lots of "hairs"
- Guestlooks like an elephant
- StudentWhy
- Guestattractive
- Bugscope TeamLike Scott said, insects have an exosceleton so they need receptors to sense their environment
- Bugscope Teamnow you can see the proboscis, and the eyes, and the antennae.
- 8:55 am
- Studentthat thing hat looks like a trunk, what is that?
- Studentthat*
- Guestlookslike a golf ball
- Guestwhats the proboscis??
- Guestwhats with the eye
- Bugscope TeamWe do not need that many "Hairs" because our skin has sensors in it
- Bugscope TeamMs B the images are being saved as you go to those areas.
- Guestlaruen, thats the straw thingy that sucks the nectar
- Guestcan't see
- Bugscope Teamproboscis is the d'oh like soph and jess said
- Bugscope TeamLJ: poboscis=mouth part of butterfly to drink nectar
- Studentok im done
- Guestye
- Bugscope TeamAnother view of a compound eye
- Bugscope Teamyeah soph and jess were on top of that one
- Bugscope TeamJamal has control.
- Bugscope TeamGood job, Big Rick
- Studentthanks smiey
- Guestsry big rick
- Guestok, who is jamal?
- Bugscope TeamJamal can you drive now Dude?
- Guestsheridan?
- Studentwho's smiley
- Bugscope TeamEVERYBODY: What do you think you will do after high school? Anything with microscopes?
- Guestoooo
- Studentheyo
- Studentdeff not
- Studentlol no
- Guestno, I'm thinking psycology
- Guestno no ,microscopes in my future
- Guestoops
- Bugscope TeamSmiley is Claudi, in Florida. She used to work here but got too cold.
- Guestwhat are thos little tube thingys
- Studentengineering so..maybe
- Guest??
- Studentim goin to be a pancriestologist
- Studentwhy would we do anything wit microscopes
- Bugscope TeamPedro: I am a grad student studying neuroscience and I love microscopy. I think it is cool to see things the way our eyes cannot perceive them
- Bugscope Teamoh no we are losing our future scientists
- Guestinteresting
- Bugscope TeamBig Rick I didn't get that.
- Bugscope Teampan means many
- Bugscope TeamPedro: Not everybody who works with microscopes looks at bugs.
- Guestso what's that?
- Guestcool!!!
- Bugscope TeamThanks Holmes I think I understand that.
- Studentk i've had my fun
- Guestwhy dooes the surface have so many holes?
- Bugscope TeamOOF = out of focus
- Bugscope TeamPedro: Scott can tell you in detail what many more uses this electron microscope has.
- Guestmmmmm, waffle fries
- Studentgo to dirty johnny
- Bugscope TeamDJ has it.
- Studentso how does it fly if there are so many holes in the wing?
- 9:00 am
- Bugscope Teamthe scales are sort of analogous to feathers, and they are what make moth wings feel slick
- Guestlooks like something my mom would knit
- Bugscope Teamthe holes are very small and trap air
- Bugscope TeamGood question, Peter.
- Studentur mom knits????
- Studentthats awesome
- Bugscope Teamlike water is to us
- Bugscope Teamlike water
- Guestthat's cool
- Bugscope Teamhah
- Studenttell her to make me something
- Bugscope TeamHowever, all those holes give the wing the nice array of colors in the sunlight
- Studentlike a sweater
- Guestwould water tear through the wing
- Guestis that wing attactched to a moth, or was it removed?
- Guest*attatched
- Bugscope Teamthe wing was detached
- Studentwith my name on it
- Guestouch
- Guestoh
- Guestlooks like goosebumps
- Guesttrue dat
- Guestthats spiky
- Studentthats sick
- Studentvery techno
- Bugscope Teamthe juju is actually brochosomes -- tiny soccer ball like elements
- Guestholy crap!
- Guestfreaky!
- Guesthairy
- Studenttake a picture
- Bugscope Teambig compound eye
- Guestwoah!!! HUGE EYE!!!
- Bugscope TeamGood job driving!!!!
- Bugscope Teamthat is a moth, without wings
- Guestbig eyes
- Studenti bet u like huge eyes dont u
- Bugscope Teamit has very feathery looking antennae
- Guestyea
- Studenthahahaha
- Bugscope TeamAgain all the setae on the antennas help sensing the environment
- Guestso, what are brochosomes?
Bugscope Teambrochosomes are something only leafhoppers produces
- Bugscope Teamthe left antenna is missing but the right onw is folded under the head
- Studentits eye looks lik a ping pong ball
- Bugscope Teambrochosomes are tiny waxy soccerball-like structures that leafhoppers exude
- Guestwhat are they used for??
- Guestwhat are brochosomes used for?
Bugscope Teamleafhoppers use brochosomes to coat their eggs presumably so they don't dry out, right Scott?
- Studentwhat are they used for
- Bugscope Teamthey just drink the nectar of the flowers
- Studentoff roading!!!!!!!!!
- 9:05 am
- Guestthe moth sould comb his hair
- Studentstride is good gum
- StudentBig Eick
- Bugscope Teamwe think the brochosomes help protect the eggs, yes.
- StudentRick
- Studentflavor flave?
- Bugscope Teamkeep the eggs from drying out
- Guestyum'
- Guestoh
- Bugscope Teammoths are full of scales
- Bugscope Teamnow you can see the scales on the moth body
- Bugscope Teamit is very hard to image here because the sample charges up with electrons
- Studentwhat just ahppened?
- Guestlooks like feathers
- Guestwhy is it dark???
- Studenthow are the scales used? heat? protection?
- Guesty does it look feathery
- Guest?
- Bugscope Teamthe things we are imaging are in a vacuum chamber and we are beaming electrons at them
- Bugscope TeamI think the scales add surface area and function much like feathers to a bird
- Guestwould it b okay 4 me to control the scope now??
- Studentno
- Bugscope Teamas Molly said...
- Bugscope TeamGot it Carebear.
- Guestzoom in on the eye
- Guestwhat's on it's eye?
- Bugscope Teamsome scales, mostly
- Bugscope Teamdust
- Bugscope Teamyeah always dust
- Bugscope Teamdirt...or something like that
- Bugscope Teamthe individual facets are called ommatidia
- Studentnew bug
- Bugscope Teamsometimes you can see bacteria on the eye though...that's really cool
- Guestwhat's that?
- Guestwat is this?
- Guestoh
- Guestcool
- Bugscope Teamdragonfly wing
- Bugscope Teamthis is the dragonfly wing
- Bugscope Teamthere are little spikes all over it
- Studentgood choice
- Guestlooks like a soccer ball
- Bugscope Teamspines/spikes
- Guestwana know the last thing that whent through the bugs mind? .... His butt
- Guestwhy isnt there scales on it
- Studentwhy are there spikes on it
- Guest*cardboard
- GuestWhy are there spikes on it?
- Guestdoes it bend easily?
- Guestit looks all scuffed up
- Bugscope Teamdragonflies are evolutionarily very old and do not have scales
- Guestwhat are the scrathes

Bugscope TeamU control what to look at
- Guesti drove last night?
- Guestcontrol it
- Guest-kayla
- Studentwork it!
- Bugscope Teamyou should now have more controls that allow you to manipulate the electron microscope

- Guestthe pic
- Guestoh.
- StudentTHE IMAGE
- Guestoh yea.
- Bugscope Teamwell try taking the mag down, or up, there you go

- Guestwhy does it go so fast across/
- Guest?*
- Guestwhat r those dots?
Bugscope TeamThe spots on the tape which is on the stage, right Scott?
- Guestm confused
- Guestwhy don't they have just one eye?
- TeacherDoesn't each facet give a single picture?
Bugscope TeamCorrect
- Bugscope Teamthe dots in the background are carbon tape bubbles -- bubbles in the carbon doublestick tape.
- 9:21 am
- Guestwhy do they need so many?
- Guestwhos controling the microscope
Bugscope TeamKaylaS
- Guestwhats a facet?
- Bugscope Teamyes each ommatidium (facet) gives a single picture.
- Guesthow can they see?? that would b soooo confusing!
- TeacherIs the carbon doublestick tape used in the preparation of the samples?
- Bugscope Teamkayla is driving now
- Guestdriving what?
- Studentwe already saw this one
- Guest.............
- Guesti just changed the picture.
- Guestdragonfly wing!
- Guestthe microscpope kayla
