• Bugscope Teamthis is a mite on a millipede
• Bugscope TeamEd!!!
• Bugscope TeamHe's gone...
• GuestHi Scot. I see I've got controls on the right, now. Ok if I play a little? :-)
  Bugscope Teamyes go ahead
• Guestthanks pepper

• 12:57 pm

• Bugscope TeamYou may select from any of the presets to get a different
• Bugscope Teamcritter
• Guestah, sorry to hear they're missing their session. is the millipede with mites theirs?
• Bugscope Teamthey didn't send us anything

• Bugscope Teamwe often provide the sample
• Bugscope Teamthis I caught recently but looks like I managed to lose the antennae.
• Bugscope Teamwe got the millipede from another class
• Guesthmm, skeeters are kind of cute at this range. still can't stand them though :-)
• Bugscope Teamoh and yes the mite came from another class
• Bugscope Teamit was super big so we had plenty of it left over because we can only fit so much on a stub
• Bugscope Teamas Pepper said...
• Bugscope Teamit scared me when I first opened the envelope
• Guestah. by the way, we're still collecting our bees. no shortage around gene robinson's lab ...
• Guestonly trouble is, our dedicated wrangler's off in Europe this week. he'd gathered some for us before he left, but they've been at minus-80 for a week-plus.
• Bugscope Teamwhat about Varroa mites?
• 1:03 pm
• Guesti was just asking karen pruiett about that (research beekeeper). she says they've been pretty effective at keeping the mites controlled this season, but she'll lok for specimens that have them.
• Guestshe may also have a few with deformed wing virus.
• Bugscope Teameeuw
• Bugscope Teamwe have a 1.75-inch diameter stub to put all of the samples on
• Guestwe're actually combining your session with visual microscopy just before. (borrowing dissecting scopes from the undergrad biology folks). should bring home some nice points about instrumentation (naked eye to light scope to electron microscope)
• Guest1.75 inch diameter sounds like plenty for half a dozen bees or more, yes?
• Bugscope TeamCool.
• Bugscope Teamsmall ones
• Guestwill you guys be around Thursday afternoon, or should I try to get the bees to you sooner?
• Bugscope TeamI should be here
• 1:08 pm
• Bugscope TeamI have a tour to do in the morning and my service guy for this 'scope should be here much of the day
• Guestgreat. by the way, is there a maximum number of machines your server can handle? I think i asked this by email and it sounded like bandwidth from our end would be the only limitation. Can't imaging that being much of a limiting factor in IGB where, e.g., I've grabbed down ubuntu linux images from the argonne labs server at 10mb/sec :-). We might want 15 or so machines connecting.
• Bugscope TeamPepper will be here as well.
• GuestSounds good. What's your room number in Beckman again?
• Bugscope TeamI think 15 should be good. We have had trouble at somewhere around 27 machines.
• Bugscope TeamBasement of Beckman, short hallway off the elevator, B606/B612
• Bugscope TeamB606 is the number of the suite of rooms that hold most of our 'scopes.
• Guestgreat. we'll give each student their own machine, and double up if we encounter any difficulties (which sounds unlikely).
• Bugscope TeamYou have, like, boatloads of bandwidth.
• 1:13 pm
• Guestok, I'll look for you in B606 Thursday late morning, early afternoon.
• Bugscope TeamCool, sounds great. 265 5071.
• GuestGreat. I'll talk with you then. Bye for now! Thanks to you both.
• Bugscope Teambye jim, see you thursday and next week
