- Bugscope TeamHi Sarah!
- Bugscope Teamwelcome to Bugscope!
- GuestHello! And thank you! I'm in the teacher prep program at WSU Tri-Cities
- GuestMy technology professor told us about this - pretty neat!
- Bugscope TeamCool. We are setting up for a session with a school in California that starts at 3:15 our time.
- GuestSounds great!
- Bugscope Teamwho's your teacher? or should I say did (she?) come from here?
- 3:03 pm
- GuestHer name is Lisa Page, and she's done sessions on here before.
Bugscope TeamAha! Yeah totally cool. Please say Hi to her!
- Bugscope Team(Scott Robinson)
- GuestI definately will!
- Bugscope TeamSarah you can see what we're doing -- we're choosing cool stuff on the stub and saving it as "Presets"
- Bugscope Teamwhen the teacher and her students log in they will be able to select from them on the lefthand screen
- 3:08 pm
- Guestthat's a good idea - how long does it take to prepare something like this?
- Bugscope Teamwe start out with insects/arthropods that are dry, and we mount them on a stub that's 1.75 inches in diameter. then we coat them with gold-palladium. it takes about 25 minutes to make the stub, 10 or so minutes to coat it, and 30 to 40 minutes to do what we're doing now.
- Guestvery cool. this is definately something I'd like to incorporate in my future classroom.
- 3:15 pm
- Bugscope TeamSarah be sure to apply for a session far in advance; once the time gets closer and you've already been accepted, you can work with us to modify the time/day.
- Bugscope Teamit's 'cause we've suddenly become so 'popular' that we are booking months ahead of time.
- GuestI will make note of that.

- GuestYes.
- GuestWhat should we do for the mock session?
Bugscope TeamI set things up so you can control the 'scope now
- Bugscope Teamso you can drive, if you'd like, and you can also select from the presets on the lefthand screen
- 4:23 pm
- Bugscope TeamSWYH can you see that you have controls, over the top of the viewing screen?
- Bugscope Teamand can you see the lefthand arrow?
- GuestWhat keys do I use to drive?
Bugscope Teamuse your mouse to control the magnification, focus, etc. at the top of the viewing screen
- Bugscope Teamif you click within the image you see now, you can get the microscope to center on the place you click upon
- GuestI see that we click on the controls at the top
Bugscope Teamyes!
- Bugscope TeamI just clicked the minus on the magnification
- Guesthow do you pan
Bugscope Teamto move the sample, click once within the image and it will center on that point
- Bugscope Teamwe used to have click to drive, but it was too hard to know when to click to stop driving...
- Bugscope Teamcan you see the presets on the lefthand screen?
- Bugscope Teamplease let me know when you have questions
- 4:29 pm
- GuestI think I am missing some controls, I have a + & - after Focus, but nothing after Mag
Bugscope Teamfirst, try refreshing your browser, which is usually f5
- Guestby presets do you mean the pictures on the left
Bugscope Teamexactly. if you click on one, the 'scope will drive to that place
- Bugscope Teamit may be that your screen resolution needs to be changed so that you can see all of the controls
- Bugscope Teamare you using a Windows machine?
- Bugscope Teamyou can right click on the 'desktop,' which will allow you to access 'Properties,' and you can then go to 'Settings' to change the screen size.
- 4:34 pm

- Bugscope Teamthis is salt from a Wendy's
- Bugscope Teamit has that cool incised appearance, unlike normal salt
- Guestso Wendy's doesn't usenormal salt?
Bugscope Teamwe really do not know, but we think that an anticaking agent has been added
- 4:53 pm
- Bugscope Teamthe sodium chloride still makes cubic crystals, but they are affected by some other chemical or phenomenon that occurs when the salt is made
- Guestmysterious, eh?
Bugscope Teamyeah. it's the only salt we know of that does this, but it's not like we've tried all of them
- Bugscope TeamI am so happy that things are working now.
