• Bugscope Teamhello bull dog, welcome to bugscope!
• Bugscope TeamaHello Bulldog!
• Bugscope TeamOop he is gone.
• Bugscope TeamThere he is!
• Bugscope TeamHello!
• GuestHello Scott
• Bugscope TeamWelcome to bugscope.
• GuestThanks
• GuestThanks
• Bugscope TeamBull Dog where are you from?
• GuestThank you for letting me see what is happening
• GuestButler University Indianapolis
• Bugscope TeamYou are the only participant we have right now -- our school has yet to log in.
• Bugscope TeamWould you like to drive?
• GuestOK I will wait
• Bugscope TeamYou now have control of the microscope.
• Bugscope Teamwhy don't you try controlling the microscope while we are waiting. it's cool to do it! heh.

• Bugscope TeamTry clicking on one of the presets to the right, or changing the mag.

• Bugscope Teamouch, went off the stage. bulldog, when driving, click once to start moving, click AGAIN to stop.

• Bugscope Teamthe holey background is carbon tape

• Bugscope Teamyes, or click to center is fine too. good job
• Bugscope Teamalso, let us know if you have any questions

• Bugscope Teamif you want to goto another interesting insect, just click on a preset. that will take you there automatically.
• 12:07 pm

• Bugscope Teamyeah you are the supreme ruler if the school never shows up, which we are starting to worry about.

• Bugscope Teamthis is an ant's antenna

• Bugscope TeamBull dog, usually when we have a live session running, there is a constant chat going on between the students and us (the Bugscope team)
• 12:12 pm
• Bugscope TeamBull Dog let us know if you have any questions.
• GuestScott - how do I find another bug on here?
  Bugscope TeamYou can quick jump to somewhere else by clicking a preset image to the right of the chat lines
• Bugscope TeamGo to a preset.
• Bugscope TeamThat will take you to another bug.
• Bugscope Teampresets are in the lower right corner

• Bugscope TeamYou could technically use the "click to drive" tool to explore as well, the presets are just an easier way of jumping from place to place
• Bugscope Teamthen you can explore from there
• Bugscope Teamwe are looking at some pollen grains, i believe
• Bugscope Teamyou can change the mag to see where these pollen grains on

• Bugscope Teamthis is a beetle head...i think
• GuestThis is alot of fun but I am also willing to let the students take control IF they are there
• Bugscope Teamwe love it when students drive the scope.
• Bugscope Teamit looks like there was some miscommunication about today's session...it is all yours for now
• Bugscope TeamHey Bull Dog (a Beatles song); there will be no kids. Do you have anyone there who would like to drive?
• Bugscope Teamthere is nothing quite like a 10-15 year old controlling a $750,000.00 microscope!
• Bugscope TeamYeah, if you can find some they're welcome to get on. They can load up the interface on more computers as well
• 12:18 pm

• Bugscope TeamThe book I am reading says that they have collected sometimes as many as 15 viable spores, bacteria, crustaceans in suspended animation, etc., from flying insects such as dragonflies
• GuestHey Scott - If I can sign up for a session from Indianapolis, can we send you other samples other than bugs?
• 12:23 pm
• Bugscope TeamSure. What would you like to send?
• Bugscope Teambye bye
• Bugscope TeamWe use bugs primarily because they have tiny features that the kids can recognize.
• GuestMaybe the flower petals, or cork, or the inside of a digital camera.
• Bugscope TeamBye Annie!
• Bugscope Teamsure that all sounds good. pollen from Stargazer lilies, milkweed seedlings, salt from Wendy's,...
• Bugscope Teamthe stage is 1.75 inches in diameter
• Bugscope Teamso we want to choose small samples
• GuestDo you have any mold images now on your system? Where?
• Bugscope Teampreset no 4
• GuestGreat - I will go there now.
• Bugscope Teamand otherwise they are dispersed through lots of other session datasets

• Bugscope Teamthere are also bacteria in the spaces between some of the ommatidia

• Bugscope Teamthis is a good place for click to center

• Bugscope Teambut you are doing a great job
• 12:29 pm

• Bugscope Teamsee the micron bar? a bacillus is 2 microns long, generally

• Bugscope Teamthese are collapsed, a bit, from drying
• Bugscope Teamnow a tiny change in focus

• GuestIs there asignmentism adustments?
• Bugscope Teamno I can do that here
• Bugscope Teamscott is sitting at the scope now, working on the astig
• 12:34 pm
• GuestOK thanks-excellent - what is your KV and beam Diameter?
• Bugscope TeamI took the sample much closer to the pole piece
• Bugscope Team5 kV, 2.1 nm
• Bugscope Teambut the liner tube needs to be cleaned, and I cannot do that myself
• Bugscope Teamnot without getting in trouble with FEI
• Bugscope Teamwe were working at a long working distance so the kids could see more of the bugs
• Bugscope Teamso conditions were not good for high mag work
• Bugscope Teamstill it looks crappy
• GuestGreat thanks. I meet with Students on Mondays at two high schools in Indianapolis area, how can I schedule a session in the morning or afternoon some Monday?
  Bugscope Teamhttp://bugscope.itg.uiuc.edu/apply
• Bugscope Teamgo ahead and fill out an online application so we can schedule it officially and give you your own database of images
• Bugscope Teamand request the time you want
• Bugscope Teamand check out http://bugscope.itg.uiuc.edu for general information about the bugscope project.
• Bugscope Teamwe are glad to have had you log on today because otherwise all of our effort was wasted
• Bugscope Teamany question, send us an email at bugscope@bugscope.itg.uiuc.edu
• GuestOK - I have a 2007 -### but I can not remeber right now, so I will back later about some monday. Thanks.

• GuestWill any of these preset images be available on your website and where?
  Bugscope Teamyes, the website is: http://bugscope.itg.uiuc.edu/members/2007-062, but to access *everything* in that site, you'll need to login as the teacher, which you can do with the password: elizabeth. any questions about accessing later, just email bugscope@bugscope.itg.uiuc.edu
• Bugscope Teamin the 2007-062 session online
• Bugscope Teamit will be listed with the school's name as well until we change that
• 12:45 pm
• GuestWhat is the working distance on the present image on the viewer?
• Bugscope Team7.5 mm
• Bugscope Teamactually 8.7 now
• Bugscope Teamwe have to be careful about short working distances with the taller insects/arthropods in the 'scope
• Bugscope Teamand if you were to go to a preset the z would change to the long WD again
• GuestOK - I have an old ElectroScan E3 (now FEI) and use it for undergraduates at Butler U. 7.5 mm is the value we start with also.

• Bugscope Teamdo you have a W or LaB6 gun?

• Bugscope Teamthis is a field-emission 'scope
• Bugscope Teamand it is an ESEM as well
• Bugscope Teamca. 1999
• GuestWe us W and use the high vac ion pump with the W, so the filaments are cheaper and we do not have field emision, ca 1990
• Bugscope Teamdo you keep it under contract or fix it yourself?

• 12:51 pm
• Bugscope Teamreally? who works out of Texas? Kurt Gunderson? Mike Kearney?
• Bugscope TeamSounds like you have a special deal.
