• Bugscope Teamit's me matt how did you do it

• Bugscope Teamwe stick insects onto an aluminum disk that is covered with double stick carbon tape. then we coat the insects with gold/palladium to make them conductive for the electrons and stick the disk with the insects into a chamber of the microscope and bring it to vacuum and shoot electrons at it

• Bugscope Teamthe praying mantis looks like it got into a fight with a moth/butterfly since it has scales all over it

• Bugscope TeamThe eyes on the top of the head are for navagation, like a built in GPS
