Bugscope Teamyou can choose, on the lefthand screen, from any of the thumbnailed images; if you click on one the 'scope will drive to that place on the stub
Bugscope Teamhere you can see the aphid's compound eyes, the bases of its forelegs, and its proboscis, which extends down its thorax

Bugscope Teamhere you can see that this is 'live' imaging, because the claw moved between the time we made the preset and just now...

Bugscope Teamthis is actually a grasshopper, but it is so covered with fungus, some of which you can see now, that it was hard to tell what kind of critter it was
Bugscope Teamyou can see the claws, a lot of fungal hyphae, and the deflated arolium

Bugscope Teamthis is a super tiny fly, looks much like a mosquito, with comparable eyes and those pedicel antenna bases
