- 10:16 am
- Bugscope Teamjanet, we are almost ready for you to test controlling the scope.
- TeacherOK, these presets look great
- Bugscope Team:)
- Bugscope Teamscott is doing his magic
- Bugscope Teamone more preset, then it's yours, another minute
- Bugscope Teamjanet, i've unlocked the controls, you can now start controlling the scope
- 10:22 am
- Teacherokay, here I go
- Bugscope Team:)
- Bugscope Teamvery good, you + mag'd
- Bugscope Teamclick to center
- Bugscope Teamclick to center. see, works pretty good huh?
- Bugscope Teamjanet, if you have any questions please feel free to ask
- Teacheryeah, how long do I need to wait for it to grab an image? a couple of seconds?
- Bugscope Teamwell, 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 Teamit should be working right away
- Bugscope Teamchas is gone for the moment, he knows for sure how that works.
- Bugscope Teamare you not getting images as soon as you send a command?
- Bugscope Teamscott, 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 TeamHi Ferd!
- 10:27 am
- Bugscope Teamwing scale OOF
- Bugscope Teambetter better better
- Bugscope Teamif the focus doesn't look better in one direction go the other direction
- Bugscope Teamyou could drop the mag a little so focusing is easier
- Bugscope Teamif you are at high mag the step sizes are smaller
- Teachergotcha
- Bugscope Teamit's not so easy but looking better...
- Bugscope Teamright on janet
- Bugscope Teamoh yeah!
- Bugscope Teamnice
- Bugscope TeamI think these produce structural colors
- Teacherhere they are, be back in a few
- Bugscope Teamah, because of the way the light is focused?
- Bugscope Teamwe'll see if the other scale looks as good
- Bugscope Teamyeah because of the way the lines refract the light
- Bugscope Teamlet's take it to another place
- 10:32 am
- Bugscope Teamthere is the small moth head
- Bugscope Teamall dressed up
- Bugscope Teamyou 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 Teamand lots of scales
- Bugscope Teamlike tiny feathers
- Bugscope Teamthe scales are what make moths and butterflies feel slick
- Bugscope Teamhello kids, welcome to bugscope!
- StudentWhat is this
- Bugscope Teamplease let us know when you have questions
- Studentf11
- Bugscope Teamthis is the head of a small moth
- Bugscope Teamthis is bugscope, bugs inside an electron microscope
- Studenthi
- Bugscope TeamHi!
- StudentWhat the
- Studentf11
- Bugscope Teamf12
- Studenthi
- Bugscope Teamisn't F11 a jet?
- Bugscope Teamyo jake
- Bugscope TeamHi Jake.
- StudentIs this a fly
- StudentHi
- Bugscope Teamor F111?
- Bugscope Teamhey there sue
- Bugscope Teamthis is a very small moth
- Studenthello tom
- Studentwhat type of bug is this
- Bugscope Teamthis is the head of a moth
- Studentdont know
- StudentTom i'm dexter
- Studentf111
- Studentawsome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- Bugscope Teamoh good Cars you are becoming more articulate
- Studentwho know who i am??
- Studenthi dexter
- Studentcolor please
- Studentthats kind of gross
Bugscope Teamwhat is gross? the bug?
- Studentlarge beetle
- Bugscope Teamno who?
- Bugscope Teamwait till janet starts controlling the scope, then it gets really cool!
- Studenthi brooke
- Studenthello
- Studentcooleo
- 10:37 am
- Studentweirdo
- Bugscope TeamSue there is no color when we are working with electrons
- Studentyes!
Bugscope Teamwell, maybe gross to us, but intects are very important to us too.
- Studentsue: sue: sue: sue: sue: sue: sue: sue: sue: sue: sue: sue: sue:
- Studenthi this is Daniel and Tom
- Studentwhat is that
- Studenthello everybody
- Studenthi
- Studenthi
- Bugscope Teamthe electrons are very small, and the electron beam is very narrow, about 2.1 nanometers
- Studentare those things teeth
- Studenthi
- Studenti do not know
- Bugscope Teamvisible light, which has color, is 400 to 700 nanometers
- Studenthi cars
- Studentwerido
- Studentcool
- Studenthi
- Bugscope Teamso we are thinner than visible light
- Studenthi
- Studenthi Jake
- Studenthow many bugs have you gone through
Bugscope Teamthounsands, i think, in all. but right now we have 4 bugs in the scope.
- Bugscope Teamthere are tiny toothlike elements on the proboscis here
- Studentwhat is that
- Studenthow can i see insects??
- Bugscope Teamyou can see loose scales
- Studentwhat is that
Bugscope Teamthis is the copiled proboscis on a small moth
- Studentfreaky
- Bugscope Teamangela are you not able to see the images from the electron microscope?
- Studentwhat type of bug is this
- Studentewwwwwwwwwwww
- StudentHow man
- Bugscope Teamthis is a moth, a very small one
- Bugscope Teamthis is the coiled proboscis of the moth, up close
- Studentdoes it have feathers in the mouth
- Bugscope Teaman assasin bug eats other bugs
- Studentamazing
- StudentWierd
- Studentwhat is that
- Studentwhat is your favorite insect
- StudentAmazing
- Bugscope Teamit has scales, which are much like feathers, on the area where its mouth is
- StudentHow many scales does it have?
- Studenthow can i make a question
Bugscope Teamif we choose to specifically answer one of your chat-lines it becomes a question and answer pair. no need to do anything special
- Bugscope TeamI like earwigs, flies, lots of bugs
- Studentwhat is that
- Studenthow many bugs have you gone through
Bugscope Teamthousands of bugs in all, but right now there are only 4 bugs in the scope.
- Studenthi liane
- Studentis this the mouth
- Studenti don't know
- Studentwhy can't we get colors
- Studentdo u ever think the bugs get messy or gross
- Studentwhy can you not do color
Bugscope Teamwhat 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 Teamwe have gone through hundreds of bugs in about 9 years
- StudentWhy don't we get color?
- Studentcool
- Bugscope Teamthere is no color when you are working with electrons
- Studentscott do you get color
- Studentwhat is that, Scott
- 10:42 am
- Studentwhat is it??
- Studentoh sorry
- Studenthey scott what are those
- StudentScott why cant we have colors
- Bugscope Teamthey don't see color because the electron beam is thinner than the wavelengths of light that produce the colors we see
- Studentscott can you get color at all
Bugscope Teamwe can add color afterwords, based on elemental analysis of the image.
- Bugscope Teamwe don't see color, I should say
- Studenthow many feathers does a moth have scott
- Studentno
- Studenthow many bugs are in the world?
- Bugscope Teamyou would have to put false colors on the images
- Studentwat are the scals made of?
- StudentYeah how many
- Bugscope Teamthere are trillions of bugs
- Studentcan you guys see the color over there
Bugscope Teamno, we see the same that you see.
- StudentScott what are those holes?
- Studentwhat are scales
- Bugscope Teamthe scales are made of chitin
- Studentscott
- Studentoh
- Teachercan we print out these questions and answers for later?
Bugscope Teamyes, they and all the chat and images will be available after the session on the member homepage
- StudentHow many bugs have you looked at, Scott ?
- Studentwhat are those bumpes
- Studentsott how big is the light microscope
- Studentwhat are they made of
- Studenthow many bugs do you do a day?
- Studentscott what type of is this
- Student?
- Bugscope Teamthis now is a small beetle
- Studentchewing mouth.... cool
- Studentokay now what are those scott inbetween the ridges on the moth
- Studenthow many bugs do you do a day
Bugscope Teammany 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 Teaminsects are made of carbon hydrogen oxygen nitrogen, like people
- StudentScott are those hairs?
- Studentwhat type of beetle is this scott
- Bugscope Teamthis is just a small beetle, not sure what kind
- Studentwhat are those hairs Scott
- Studenthow many teeth does a beetle have alex
- Studentscott what does a praing mantis look like in action
- Studentwhat are those hairs
- Bugscope Teamthere was dust and dirt in between the ridges on the moth scale
- StudentIt's scary
- Bugscope Teamthe hairs are called setae
- StudentAre those hairs
Bugscope Teamsome 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
- Studentloks lik a cactis
- Studentdoes it have teeth
- Studentare those hairs
- Studentlooks like a finger!
- Bugscope Teamthey are often (the setae) mechanosensory, meaning that the insect uses them to feel its environment
- Studentwhy yes brooke
- 10:47 am
- StudentCreepy cool
- Studenthow big is the light microscope
Bugscope Teamit is the size of a table, here is a picture of it: http://www.itg.uiuc.edu/ms/equipment/microscopes/esem/
Bugscope Teambut it's not a light microscope, it's an electron microscope
- Studentthat mouth looks like lava
- Studentwhat is that
- Studentthat's interesting
- Studentwhat is that
- Studentsometimes bugs are cute (depending on the kind) but these are scary
- StudentUk
- Bugscope Teamexcept that some setae, as Chas says, are chemo-sensory.
- StudentScott, does it have hair?
- Studentweird
- StudentScott what's the glowing?
- Studentare those spikes
- Studentlooks like a mouth
- Bugscope Teamwe can't really call it hair -- we call the hairs 'setae.'
- StudentScream
- Studentis it cool to see them up and big in front of you in big picture
- Studenthow many times can you microscope in
Bugscope Teamthe 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 Teamfor comparison, a light microscope can only achieve ~2,000x under perfect conditions
- Studentits freaky
- Studentit looks like an inside out cacti
- StudentLooks like honey comb
- Studenthow many eyes are there scott
- StudentAlex is that dust
- StudentWow!
- Studentgroos
- Studentgross
- Bugscope Teamand the electrons do not run to ground -- they don't slide across the surface of the sample and go away
- Studentwhat are those bumps
- Studentewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- Studentok then
- Studentscott is that an eye
- Bugscope Teamthese are ommatidia -- the individual eye facets
- Studentcool
- Bugscope Teamyes it's one of the eyes of a moth
- Studentit's weird
- Studentis thar to a fly
- Bugscope Teamyou can see that there are hundreds of ommatidia
- StudentIs that realy a closeup of a compound eye Scott?
- Studentwhere did you get the name setae
- Studentwhat is that
- Studenteeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- Studentis that the eye of a fly
- Studenthow much it cost for microscope?
Bugscope Teamthe ESEM cost $750,00 dollars, right scott?
- Studentscott how many eyes are in a compound eyr
Bugscope Teamthe 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
- Studenthow many eye circles does it have
- Studentdo flys eyes look cool in 100 um
- Bugscope Teamthe glowing now is because the electrons are not shedding fast enough
- Studentthankyou scott
- StudentAlex are those feathers
- Studentit looks like a golf ball
- Studentit looks like golf ball\
- StudentIs that its eye?!
- Studentwhat is that it's wierd
- Studentits not that gross
- Studentis that a golf ball
- Studentcan a moth see well, scott
- Bugscope Teamthere can be thousands of ommatidia in the compound eyes of a moth
- StudentIt looks like a mushroom
- Studentthats alot!!!!!!!!
- Studentyeah
- Studentscary
- Bugscope Teamthe microscope cost around $700,000
- Bugscope Teamthat was an eye
- StudentWhat is this now?
- Studentew
- Studentahhh
- Studentwhat is that scott
- Bugscope Teamthis is the claw of one of the moths
- Studentno idea
- StudentAlex are those feathers
Bugscope Teami think those are scales, not feathers. scales are harder, smaller than feathers.
- 10:52 am
- StudentScott thank you for anwering my and every one elsess anwers
- Studentthat looks like a jelly fish
- Bugscope Teamthose are not feathers, but they are similar -- they are scales
- Studentweirdo is mine
- Studentcool
- Bugscope Teamwe are trying -- thank you!
- Bugscope Teamyes you can see that moths have tiny claws
- Studentwho is i sceam
- StudentI scream
- StudentI scream
- StudentHow many setaes are there Scott?
- Bugscope Teamfor?
- StudentAlex what is that web
- Studentyeah
- Studentto kill there pray
- Studentis that a tallon of a hawk
Bugscope Teamno, but it looks pretty vicious, huh?
- Studentwhy moth need claw?
Bugscope Teamthey use it hold onto surfaces like the sides of plants, screens, cloth, etc. anything they can dig those claws into
- Bugscope Teamthere are thousands of setae
- StudentWhy do moths need claws?
- Studentthankyou scott
- Studenta moths claws looks cool
- Student why moths need claws
- Studentit looks like a tallon?
- Studentlol
- Bugscope Teamit is a talon, isn't it? but of a moth
- Studentjflgeiuhrailuatgrhguhrtbfhhyghdgajgbabtybzb
- Studentya
- StudentAmazing
- Bugscope Teamthey need them to be able to cling to surfaces
- Studentdo you kill the bugs first
Bugscope Teammost bugs are already dead, but some have survived being in the scope!
- Bugscope Teamyes or they are already dead
- Studenthow come these things are so small
- Studentwhy do beetles need claws
- Bugscope Teamsometimes we freeze the insects to kill them
- StudentPoor bugs
Bugscope Teamwell, there are ALWAYS more bugs...
- Studentwhit is this bug
- Studentis that a bird?
- StudentYou freeze them?
Bugscope Teamtheir metabolisms are temperature dependant, so they essentially just go to sleep and then die
- StudentChas is that dust
Bugscope TeamI 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 Teamthe ladybug, this morning, was still alive, so I didn't put it in the 'scope
- Student-A-
- Studentif they survive the scope then what
- Bugscope Teamyeah for scott!
- Bugscope Teamthis is another talon
- Teacherokay
- StudentTrue but still..
- Studentaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!! uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuukkkkkk!!!!!!!!!!!!
- Studentdo you let them go
Bugscope Teamscott let a ladybug go before the session, so yes.
- StudentHairy
- Studenthow many claws do they have scott
- StudentWhat on earth is that
- Studentew
- Bugscope Teamsometimes if they are tough and resilient we just let them go
- Studentawsome
- Studentwow
- StudentChas is that holes
- Studentwhy didn't you kill the ladybug
- Bugscope Teamthey may have two claws on each of six legs
- StudentScott, how many bugs have you froze?
- Studenthello
- Studentweirdo is mine ;;
- Studenthi
- Bugscope Teamwe would have had to kill it another way and did not have time
- Studentwho am i
- Studentweirdo is mine
- Studentwhat is that
- Studentwhy insects need antenna
Bugscope Teamtheir 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
- Studentthankyou
- Studentbugs ARE dirty and covered in things
- StudentWhat is that
- Studentwhat is that
- Bugscope Teamlike using chloroform or dropping it in ethanol
- Bugscope Teamyes they all have spiracles
- Studentwhat is that
- 10:57 am
- Studentwhats that?
- Bugscope Teamthey can close their spiracles and hold their breath that way
- Studentwhit is that scott
- Studenthow do crickets make that sound that htey make
Bugscope Teamthey rub their legs together
- Studentmy nickname is nickname
- Studentwhat are spiricales
Bugscope Teamthey 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 Teamyou are a genius
- Studenthow big is a light on a mirocroscope
- Studentno
- Studentbla
- Studentby
- Studentdont stop
- Studentit lookslike armor
- Studentnonononononononononononononononononononononononononononononononononononononono
- Studentbye
- Studentbye
- Teacherwe are now switching classes
- StudentBye Bye
- Studenthaha
- Bugscope Teamthere isn't really a light; it is a cathode ray tube sort of like in the back of a TV
- Bugscope Teamgood bye, thanks for joinging us! you all are awesome.
- Studentby
- Studentnonononononononononononononononononono
- Studentseya
- Bugscope TeamThank You!
- TeacherI can't seem to make the ant head preset work
- Bugscope TeamHello all, sorry to join late, just got out of class!
- Bugscope Teamwhat happens when you click on the thumbnail?
- Bugscope Teamhi annie
- Bugscope Teamhi Annie!
- Bugscope TeamWe are changing classes just now
- TeacherI get the warning you're probably at the max or min of that control
- 11:02 am
- Bugscope TeamI'm not sure what would cause that. Do other presets work OK?
- StudentHow did u become in intested in this subject
- Studentwhat is this ?
Bugscope Teamthe big ball-looking things are leg-joints where the legs are anchoring to the thorax
- Bugscope Teamthis is the body of a beetle, I think
- Studentwhat bug is this
- Bugscope TeamI became interested in insects when I was a little kid. I always collected critters.
- Studenti dont think so
- Bugscope Teamwe need to do to a lower mag to see where we are
- Studentthis is cool!
- Studentwhat is it
- StudentWhat is this
- Bugscope Teamthe thorax for sure
- Bugscope Teamhi, welcome to bugscope.
- Studentwat is that thing
- StudentJuliana: Have you ever looked at a Eye ball?
Bugscope Teamlots and lots of bug eyes. no human eyes though...
- Bugscope Teamcan we decrease the magnification a bit so I can give a better ID?
- Bugscope Teamprofessional thorax
- Studenthi
- Studenthey scott do u like doing this??
- Bugscope Team this is the most fun we have in a week, usually
- Studenthow did u become intrested
- Bugscope TeamThis is a carabid beetle...a so-called ground beetle
- Bugscope Teama total kick
- StudentHow tall is the telescope?
Bugscope Teamabout 6 feet tall, here is a picture: http://www.itg.uiuc.edu/ms/equipment/microscopes/esem/
- Bugscope Teamyep, agree with scott
- Studentwhat are the pointy things
- StudentHow big is it
Bugscope Teamthere is a scale bar at the lower left corner of the screen. "um" is micron, or one millionth of a meter
- Bugscope TeamAnnie was right -- it was a prothorax
- Studentthats wierd
- Studentis that dead
Bugscope TeamQuite dead
- Studenthow much is this zooming in?
- Studentty
- StudentTalitha:What do ant legs look like up close?
Bugscope TeamThey 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.
- Studentwhat insect is it
- Studenthow little is it
- Bugscope Team64X, you can see in the upper right, under the magnify
- 11:07 am
- Bugscope Teamthis is low mag right now
- StudentWow really how did u do this
- Studentg2g
- Studenthow long did it take to make this happen
Bugscope Teamit'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
- StudentHow big is the microscope
Bugscope Teamit is the size of a table, here is a picture: http://www.itg.uiuc.edu/ms/equipment/microscopes/esem/
- Studentare those hairs
- Studentwhat is this
- Studentwow you froze it?
- Studentwhat kind of microscope is it
Bugscope Teamthis 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
- Studentis that why it is gray?
- Bugscope Teamit took about a half hour to put the stub together with the samples on it
- Studenthow many times can it magnify
Bugscope Teamup to 800,00 times in some instances, allthough then you wouldn't see much at all
- Studenthow big is the mickroskop
- Bugscope Team this is a scanning electron microscope
- Studentcool
- Studentdid you freeze them
- Studenthow long did u like bugs for
- Studentwow
- Studentwow
- Studentwow
- Studentwow
- Studentwhat is this bug
- StudentDoes it take a long time to produce these images?
Bugscope Teamyou'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
- Studenthow big is the microscope
- StudentWhat kind of beetle is this
Bugscope TeamThis is a beetle from the family Carabidae, the ground beetles
- Bugscope Teambugs are just fun to work with
- Bugscope TeamCarabids, like this beetle, are generally considered beneficial insects because they eat other insects
- Studenthow many bugs do you have?
- Studentwhat's up
- Bugscope Teamyou are making the images in real time, R2-D2
- Studentwat are those spiny things
Bugscope TeamThe little flaky things look like moth scales. Perhaps this beetle was in a container with a moth
- Studentwhat are these pictures of
- Studentis this bug big
- Studenthow big i s the biggest bug
- Studentdo you like working here
Bugscope TeamI don't technically work at Beckman, I am a graduate student and I help out with Bugscope. And I really like it!
- Bugscope Teamthe samples are in a vacuum chamber, and we are using a narrow beam of electrons to look at them
- Studentwhat insect is it
- StudentWhat kind of ant is this?
- Bugscope Team so there is no color
Bugscope Teamwe 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
- StudentJuliana: what is the big picture of?
- Studentcan isee its legs?
- Studentthis is ruth talking can u show me abee??
- Studentwhere are you guys at
- Bugscope Teamthis is a carabid beetle, as Annie said
- Studenta bee
- Studenthow long does this take
- Studentwhy is it gray
- Studentwhat color is this bug
- Bugscope TeamRuth I am sorry we have no bees in the 'scope this morning
- Bugscope Teamwe are in urbana, illinois. beckman institute.
- StudentJuliana: were do you find so of the bugs
- StudentA beetle
- Bugscope Teamthe bug was multicolored
- Bugscope TeamI love working here.
- Studentthis is wierd
- Studentwat kind of bugs can u show us
Bugscope Teamwe 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)
- Studentthis is so cool!
- Bugscope Teamwe have an ant, two moths, two beetles, ...
- StudentI have never seen a bug up this close
- Studentbeetle
- Bugscope Teamthis is the scale of a butterfly or moth
- Studentit is weard!
- Studentwhat insect is it
- Studentok this is Ruth again can u show me a cool bug though I LOVE BUGS
- StudentTalitha: How many workers work at the lab?
- Studentwhat are those thorns
- Studentis this a beetle
- Bugscope Teamthe scales are sort of like feathers are to a bird
- 11:12 am
- Studentwhat kind of insects have you seen
- Bugscope Teamyes, this is a beetle, a scale of a beetle
- Studentwhat is this
- StudentWhat color was it originally?
- Bugscope Teamwe have seen most of the smaller insects and arthropods, I think
- Studentok
- Studentis there a mantis?
- StudentHow big is the microscope???
Bugscope Teamthe size of a table, here is a picture: http://www.itg.uiuc.edu/ms/equipment/microscopes/esem/
- Studentcan you magnify a hair
- Bugscope TeamI am not sure what color this scale was
- StudentWhat is the size of the smallest insect
Bugscope TeamThe smallest adult insect is a tiny wasp, called a Fairyfly. The smallest is 0.21 mm
- Studentwhat has to be ur favoite bug working with??
- Bugscope Teamhairs are easy to magnify
- StudentJuliana: how do you no what the insect is? Do you look at a book or what
- Studentis this a beetle
- Bugscope Teammy favorites are ticks, I think
- Studenthow big is the microscope
- Student what kind of insects have you seen?
- StudentI never knew beetles had scales
- Bugscope Teami like mites
- Bugscope Teamthis is the face of an ant
- Bugscope Teamant facebook
- StudentWhat is that its so so so so so cool
- Studentis that spit
- Bugscope Teamit has a lot of juju in its mouth here
- Studentwhat is this
- Studentamie hrer
- Studentthat's cool
- Bugscope Teamyeah it is sort of like spit
- Studenthow much are you zooming in?
- Studentwhat other insects do you have
- Studentdo those kill them
- Studentwhat is it eating
- StudentCool ant close up
- Studentwhat ii that
- StudentTalitha: What is the biggest snake you ever seen?
- StudentCan you produce color images?
- Bugscope Teamnow 66X, you can see the mag in the upper right
- Studentwhat they eat
- Studentplease never leave please
- Studentis that a brain
- Bugscope Teamcan you see the micron bar, on the bottom left?
- Studentzoom in all the way!
- Studentwats the biggest bug
Bugscope TeamThere 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 Teamno color, because we are imaging using electrons, which are smaller than the wavelegth of light that we can see
- Studentamie here i think ticks are mean and dangois
- Studentno!
- Studentare there yellow jacket
- StudentWhat kind of bugs do you exsperement
- Studentwhat is this kind of bug
- Studenthello!!
- Bugscope Teambacteria are often 2 microns long
- StudentJuliana: What is the biggest insect or bug that you've ever seen?
- Bugscope Teamhi amie
- Studentthese are awesome
- Bugscope Teamthis is an ant
- Studenthi
- Studentwhats up
- Studenthey
- Bugscope Teamlobster
- StudentHave you magnified the Goliath Bird-Eating Spider?
- Studenthi cullen
- StudentWhat is the biggest bug in the world?
- Studenthow do u like it over there\
- Studentcoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool
- Studenthi ben
- StudentHi duds
- Studentcooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool
- Studenthow much weight can ants hold
- Studentstop talking zack and ian
- Bugscope Teamsome bugs are just way too big to fit in the microscope
- Student whats your favorite insect
- Studentcoolieo
- Studenthi jackob
- Bugscope TeamI like earwigs
- Studenthow big is the eye
- Studenthi
- StudentJULIANA; HELLO!
- Bugscope Teamgo look at the eye and we can tell how big it is
- 11:18 am
- Studentwhat is that?
- Bugscope Teamnice imaging
- Studentis there a red ant
- Studentwerdo ben
- Studentwat is your favorite bug
- Bugscope Teamthis is the thorax of the ant -- a black ant
- Studenthello ppl
- Studentis that hair??
- Studentis that hair
- Bugscope Teamearwigs are my favorite right now
- Teacherwe are lookng for a spiracle, will we find one here on the ant?
- Bugscope Teamwe put bugs in the scope for bugscope, but other times scientists put other things in the scope, like metals or molecules.
- Bugscope TeamWe have to keep Alex away from the beetles.
- Studenthow much can an ant carry at a time??
- Studenti agree
- Bugscope Teamme likie beetles.
- StudentJULIANA: WHAT IS THE PICHURE OF?
Bugscope TeamThis..well, it was a super close up of an ant thorax
- StudentYeah
- Studentholy ants
- Studentlol
- Studentis that hair?
- Studenthihihihi whats the wierdest and biggest bug
- Studentis threre a ear?
