• 2:51 pm
• Bugscope Teammaking presets for today's session

• 2:59 pm

• 3:06 pm
• Bugscope Teamwelcome!
• Bugscope Teamhi ms. susie, welcome to bugscope
• Bugscope Teamthis is the dust you sent
• Bugscope Teamwe can see lots of fibers, of course
• Bugscope Teamsome of them are fungal hyphae -- strands of fungus
• Bugscope Teamthis looks like one of the spore-producing bodies
• TeacherHi Scot. We are just getting logged in...
• TeacherIt will take a few mins...
• Bugscope Teamcool, we are ready anytime
• Bugscope Teamokay
• TeacherHow many times magnified is this?
• 3:11 pm
• Guest does they have an animal on the branch
• Guestwhat is this
  Bugscope Teamthis is a strand of hair, but we are not sure what the hair comes from
• Guesthow much dust is there?
  Bugscope Teamthere is dust all over the place, everywhere, on everything. it's just small so we normally don't notice it
• Bugscope Teamthis is 2569x
• Bugscope Teamhi students, welcome to bugscope!
• Guesthow much dust is there
• 3:17 pm
• Studentwhat part is fungus?
• Bugscope Teamif you click on the actual micron bar, on the screen, you will get a list of parameters from the 'scope
• Studenthow can u see dust :)
• Studentfjl;shytsytry
• Bugscope Teamthe flat looking fibers we see now are fungus
• Guesthow can you see dust
  Bugscope Teamwell, you can see dust in a microscope pretty easily. but with the naked eye, you can't see individual dust granules, although when dust bunches up you can see it.
• Studenturjj
• Studenthey
• Studenteuum
• Guestwhat kind of fungus is it
  Bugscope Teamwe don't know much about it because we don't know where it came from
• Bugscope Teamthe sample is about a cm long and a little narrower than that
• Studentululuk
• Studentstop dude
• Bugscope Teambut we have seen fungus before, and it looks like this
• Guestwhat can this stuff do to people and animals?
  Bugscope Teamit can make them sneeze, and some people might be allergic to it
• Guestwhere did you get the fungus

• Guestcool
• Guesthow can u see dust
• Studentwhat is this?
  Bugscope Teamthis is hair from an unknown organism
• Studentcan you eat it
• TeacherDid you receive our samples?
  Bugscope Teamyep, cate made the sample today, from what you sent us
• Studentit looks like sticks
• Guestcan the fungus on the screen hurt humans
  Bugscope Teamnot likely
• Studentwhat is that
• Studenthey scot do this stuff come from dirt or what :)
  Bugscope Teamsorry I had to help someone with the evaporator
• Guestwhat is wrong with the thing of you?
• Guestwhat are the other things around the fungus
  Bugscope Teamhairs mostly
• Studentare these diffrent type of plants or fungus?
• Guesthow many fungi are there
• 3:22 pm
• Studentwhat lives in this?
  Bugscope Teamwell, i'm not sure, maybe a dust mite?

• Guestwat is this stuff
  Bugscope Teamthis is a collection of hair

• Guestwhat can this stuff do to people?

• Studenthello scot hello?
• Studento thanks alex
• Studentit looks like bags
• Guestwat is in this stuff

• Guestwhat are dust mites
  Bugscope Teamdust mites are usually found in human habitats, they feed off of dead human skin particles and things like that, that's why you'll often find them in a pile of dust, because there's also human skin particles in there as well.
• Studentisnt this dangours?
  Bugscope Teamif it had really bad fungus in it and you breathed it perhaps it could be bad
• Guestcanyou die of this stuff?
  Bugscope Teamno it's more annoying
• Bugscope Teamthis is what collects when there are little breezes and eventually all of the loose hair and fiberlike things merge together
• Studentk thx scot
• Guestare those the dust mites
  Bugscope Teamwe haven't seen any dustmites yet
• Guestwat is the unknown orginisam
• StudentIt looks like a stik.
  Bugscope Teamsure does, bugs look really weird under an electron microscope, don't they?

• Student---that is trees
• Studentis there life in thier
  Bugscope Teamthere are spores in there, in some places, that will make more fungus
• Bugscope Teamthe problem with seeing dustmites is that they are soft-bodied and shrivel up when they die
• Student?
• Studenthttp://bugscope.beckman.illinois.edu/axis_cache/current_image.php?expireCacheWith=1275596722611
• Guestdoes this fungus hurt animals
• Studentthanks scot

• Bugscope Teamfungus is all around us, or the spores are. one thing that helps them grow is moisture, and that is what is lacking here
• Studenthey scot do things or bugs live in the fungus
  Bugscope Teamthey might live among or with the fungus -- they are part of what makes things naturally decay, or rot
• Guestwhat are those lines on the cd
  Bugscope Teamthis is a piece of the CD yes, highly amplified

• Guesthi can u tell me more about this plant or this
  Bugscope Teamthis now is part of the film on the record surface of the CD
• Guestdick
• 3:27 pm
• Studentlook like stik
• Bugscope Teammagnified i mean
• StudentIs it hair scot
  Bugscope Teamthat was not hair, but we think this is

• StudentIt looks like a lage.
• Bugscope Teamthis is super interesting, and in part that is because we don't understand it

  Bugscope Teamif we were to see water in the microscope it would look solid
• Bugscope Teamit looks to us like some kind of pet hair, and it is broken open, like it has split ends from being combed too much
• GuestScot wat is this
• StudentThank scot
• TeacherWe would like to switch to the gut of a fava bean
  Bugscope Teamcan you try clicking on the preset? does it work for you?
• Guesthave you figured out what the fungus is called
  Bugscope Teamangel I am sorry we are not good at recognizing types of fungus this way
• Studentk thx
• GuestI wonder y they have so much dust

• Bugscope Teamms. susie, i just switched control to your new login, so you should have control again
• Studentscot have you ever seen these things?
  Bugscope TeamRogelio the round things look like starch granules

• TeacherCan we look at the isopod?
• Studentya thx alot
• Studentthat looks like a brain
• Bugscope Teamthe isopod is preset 1

• Bugscope Teamit was a bit squished
• Bugscope Teambut still looked good enough to look at in the microscope
• TeacherWhat is the url again for the picture of the electron microscope
  Bugscope Teamhttp://www.itg.uiuc.edu/ms/equipment/microscopes/esem/images/thumbnails/esem1.gif
  Bugscope Teamhttp://itg.beckman.illinois.edu/microscopy_suite/equipment/ESEM/
• Studentthat is a spider
  Bugscope TeamDude it looks like a spider but is the head of the rolypoly, and we are seeing the antennae.
• Studentwhat is it?
  Bugscope Teamthis is the face of the isopod- the antennae are curved around in front
• Bugscope Teamright now you have to copy and paste the url in your browser address field, but we are working on an upgrade where you can click on it
• 3:38 pm
• Bugscope Teamits mouth is kind of mucked up -- it has a lot of food stuck to it
• Studentthat is a bag
• Bugscope Teamif you want you can use click to center to drive south
• Bugscope Teamthis is a roly poly, you know those little things you find under damp logs and such. they are also called pill bugs. they are actually not bugs, they are crustaceans, like lobsters...
• StudentWhat is that
  Bugscope TeamDiego this is the head of a rolypoly, or pillbug
• Studentwhat is it
• StudentIt looks like wavs
• Studentwhy does it look weird?
  Bugscope Teama lot of insects/arthropods are kind of surprising to see up close

• Studentwhat is it is roly poly
  Bugscope Teamthey are little crustaceans that live in dark damp places, and feed off of rotting plant matter or wood. they are those things that roll up in to a little ball when you touch them, you've seen them
• Bugscope Teamthis is the fava bean cross section
• StudentI see lage and on a aya.
• Bugscope Teamwe are looking at the insides of the fava bean now, and we are seeing what look like starch granules, which we see fairly commonly in plants
• Studentwhat is this
  Bugscope Teamthese are cross-sections of plant cells
  Bugscope Team"we are looking at the insides of the fava bean now, and we are seeing what look like starch granules, which we see fairly commonly in plants"
• 3:43 pm
• StudentWhy does it look weird
  Bugscope Teamlots of things look weird when you look at them with an electron microscope
• Bugscope Teamthis is kind of what wood looks like
• Studentwhy is it ugly
  Bugscope Teampartly because it is dry and shriveled
• Studentwhat is a fava bean?
  Bugscope Teama fava bean is a bean that is native to africa and southern asia, and used as a food for humans. the plant from which the bean comes is easy to grown and it is one of the most cultivated beans in the world.
• Bugscope Teamplant cells have thick membranes around them
• Studentthat is grass
• Studentwhat it is that holes.
  Bugscope Teamthe holes are the insides of the plant cells
• Bugscope Teamthey are native to africa and asia
• Studentwhy does it have holes
• Studentwhat is this
• Student that a pumkin
• Studentwhy is there holes in there
  Bugscope Teamthey look like holes because that is the way they were cut, with a razor
• Studentno steven that is not a pumkin
• Guestwhy douse the bean as a lot of holes?
  Bugscope TeamChristopher the holes are the insides of cells, which often have a lot of water in them. when the water evaporates we see holes.
• StudentI think where in the movie HOLES?
• Studentbecause its roten
• Studentwhat kind of fungus?

• Studentwhy the faba bean is has hole
• Studentthat is cool
• Studenthow do you now this is the inside of a fava bean
  Bugscope TeamAngie when your teacher sent us the bean we cut a slice out of it and let it dry, so we knew what it was when it went onto the stage of the SEM.
• Bugscope Teamwe cut it up and took the film off one side -- and this is the film

• Bugscope Teamnot frogs, those are the bugs and beans that you sent to us
• Studentis that a rat
• Studentwhy do they caled it a microscope
  Bugscope Teamit allows us to see things that are quite small
  Bugscope Teamit comes from greek. micro means small, and scope means to see. so it means to see small things, like scott said.
