- 4:00 pm
- Bugscope Teamsample is almost pumped down
- Bugscope Teamwe're starting setup a bit early
- 4:14 pm
- 4:19 pm
- Bugscope Teamnow we're making presets for today's session
- 4:26 pm
- 4:32 pm
- 4:40 pm
- Bugscope Teamhello Mr M!
- TeacherGood Morning!
- TeacherOr good evening in Illinois
- Bugscope Teamyeah you could say Hello Yesterday
- TeacherHow does it feel to be living in the past?
- Bugscope Teamwe're fine with it
- TeacherGreat session yesterday. Kids were blown away
- Bugscope Teamawesome
- 4:45 pm
- TeacherKids will be logging on in about 25 minutes after our homeroom class.
- TeacherSo Scot, you and SEM are the same, right? The microscope is logged in as well. Some kids thought the SEM was a person :)
- Bugscope Teambig pastry
- Bugscope Teamyeah I am Scot and SEM and sj
- Bugscope TeamSEM when I am sitting at the scanning electron microscope, Scot at the other computer in the SEM room, and sj in my office, in case the phone rings, if I hear it
- TeacherHaha. Ok. Wow talk about multi tasking
- TeacherKiller mold spore!
- Bugscope Teamyeah it looks like a pollen grain but sometimes they do
- Bugscope Teamit is with a bunch of fungal hyphae on that beetle leg
- 4:50 pm
- TeacherI love he new interface. Especially, the labeled presets and the descriptive references to the size of items in the microscope viewer
- 4:56 pm
- Bugscope Teamnot sure; it was disembodied
- TeacherLooks like a suction cup on top of that antennae!
Bugscope Teamthat is where the next section would have been, pretty sure
- Bugscope Teamwhat family of beetle is this?
Bugscope Teamit's a fur beetle, from Iceland
- TeacherA student brought it in from Malaysia even though I asked to collect bugs from Korea. The striped elytron is from the same beetle.
- Bugscope Teamokay cool
- Bugscope Teamthat's crazy
- Bugscope Teamthat's the antennae?
- Bugscope Teamyeah Joe this is all we have plus part of the elytra, which was striped
- Bugscope Teamthe elytron actually has these same fine fat setae on it
- 5:01 pm
- Bugscope Teamwhoa, does it look the same as other dermestids? (assuming you've seen them under sem)
- TeacherNice. Thanks for your help yesterday Joe. The kids loved it.
Bugscope TeamNo problem. It's fun.
- Bugscope Teamah. still really cool. beetles are so diverse. did I ever send you those made ship timber beetles with the crazy mouth parts?
Bugscope Teamwe have some critters in ethanol from you we haven't had time to CPD yet
Bugscope Teamah. yea the males have these crazy palps that are super-modified. it's something used in mating.
- TeacherI could send you a photo. I have the main body of it sitting here (minus the parts you have) :)
- 5:06 pm
- 5:15 pm
- Bugscope TeamHello Jiny, Emily, Subin, Lina, and Eugene
- Bugscope TeamHello Amy!
- Bugscope TeamHello!
- Bugscope Teamhello SoCalStoker!
- StudentHi!!
- StudentHi!!
- StudentHi!
- TeacherKids finally logging in
- Bugscope TeamWelcome to Bugscope!
- GuestHi!
- Studentyes we kind of started late
- Studenthi
- Studentlol
- TeacherPlease give control to Emily, please
Bugscope Teamgot it
Bugscope Teamemily has it\
- Bugscope Teamthis is the head of the dragonfly; foreground is some setae on the side of the face, and in the background you see the eye
- Bugscope Teamthen the mantis wing, now part of a super radical beetle antenna
- Studentcoool
- StudentHello
Bugscope TeamHi Paul!
- StudentHey :)
Bugscope TeamHey Daisy!
- StudentHi
Bugscope TeamHello S!
- Student.
- Bugscope Teamnow we see where the tip is likely busted off
- StudentHi everyone!
- StudentHello :)
- StudentFun~
- 5:20 pm
- Bugscope TeamHello Everyone!
- Bugscope TeamI don't think we've ever seen an antenna quite like this
- StudentAWESOME :D :D :D
- Bugscope Teamthe background here is the carbon tape the samples are mounted on
- Bugscope Teamyea, that's definitely pretty unique
- StudentOOH-
- Studenthow does bugs reproduce???
- Student:)
- Studentkk
- StudentWhat is a 'carbon tape'?
Bugscope Teamit is doublestick tape with carbon on the surface
Bugscope Teamwe use it to mount samples on so they stick well
- StudentHow does bugs reproduce (have babys)
Bugscope Teamusually they lay eggs
- TeacherWhat are all those hairs for?
Bugscope Teamwell, my best guess would be to have increased surface area for chemical sensing.
- Studentcreepy shape ...:(
- StudentIt's kind of creepy.
- Studentwow it looks like a group of bushes... what are those for?
Bugscope Teamthey are likely sensory, and perhaps chemosensory
Bugscope Teamum as Joe said
- StudentHOLA
Bugscope Teamhaha Hola NewBrian!
- 5:25 pm
- StudentHELLO
- Studenthello!
- StudentOh, maybe not...
- Bugscope Teamnow we can see that the setae -- the hairs -- are striated
- StudentWHERE IS THIS PICTURE FROM?
- Studentmolds
- Studentis that dust on the strand of the antenna??
Bugscope Teamyes it is!
- Studentwierd
- Studentthey look like lice
- StudentHaris on top of Hairs???
Bugscope Teamwell, more hairs on top of an appendage. The antennae are more like an appendage than hair.
- Studentthings on the hairs look like modls
Bugscope Teamthere are some pretty nice looking mold spores on these samples
- Studentwhat is µm ?
- StudentHow much do you earn every day?
- StudentI think it is some bacteria that kills other inscets ^^
- StudentWhat does the 'bacterium' in the scale bar?
- StudentWhy are the hairs structured like that? I can see that they have curved surfaces?...
- TeacherPlease give Eugene Sung control
- StudentWHAT IS THAT MYSTERY SUBSTANCE?
Bugscope Teamjuju
- StudentOh
- Studentwhat is does little clumps on???
- StudentWhy there are durit on the hair?
Bugscope Teamthe insect did not have a chance to get cleaned up before it died
- StudentWhat is this?!
- StudentWhy do bugs need antennas?
Bugscope Teamthey use them for sensory functions. Mostly sensing volatile chemicals like pheromones, or smells from plants/food source.
Bugscope Teamthey also use it in contact sensing, ants use their antennae to sense whether another ant is a nest mate or not.
- Studentwhat is that hexagon?
- StudentHow much do you earn
- Studentthis looks like a ball (eye)
- StudentHairs are coming out of a black hole.....?
- Studentare those hexagons eyes....?
Bugscope Teamyes they are -- they are individual facets of the eye, called ommatidia
- StudentDo you like your job?
Bugscope Teamyes I do
- StudentI can see the hexagon! what is that?
Bugscope Teamthose hexagons are units that make up the compound eye. they're called ommatidia.
- StudentI think this is part of the head between eyes
Bugscope Teamyes it is Olivia, thanks
- StudentWhy there aren't many hairs?
Bugscope Teamthe hairs help tell the insect what is going on around it. They give them feedback like sense of touch or smell/taste. Their exoskeleton isn't has sensitive as our skin is
- StudentIs that eyes?
- Studentthere are black spots on the head
- StudentYour welcome
- StudentI love bugs I go oh yeah when I look at it!!!
- Studentit looks very scratchy
- 5:30 pm
- StudentThere are lots of JUJU
- Bugscope Teamyou can see some desiccated mold spores on the shaft of the seta
- StudentWhat's that berry looking things attached to the hair?
- StudentI agree
- StudentGROSS>>
- StudentDO YOU HAVE A CERTAIN SOCCER CLUB THAT YOU SUPPORT?
- StudentIs the round-ish thing we see right now juju too?
- Studenthow big is the juju
- Studentthe skin of the head section has curved surface?... Why is that?
- StudentIt looks ike a branch...
Bugscope Teamthat is the hair and the little gross balls are mold spores
Bugscope Teamand there is some dirt as well
- StudentWhy does bug need a hair?
Bugscope Teamthey need it because they do not have skin -- it projects through the cuticle and helps them sense their environment
- StudentWhat's that pod-ish thingie in the background?
- StudentWhat is that kind of dirt ?
- StudentWhat is the job of JUJU
Bugscope Teamto be in a place that they don't belong. Juju doesn't have a job. It's just what we call dust or dirt or other particles that aren't part of the insect
- StudentWhy did people choose to call unrecognizable stuff "JUJU"??
Bugscope Teamit was easy; in Korean you have a similar word
- Studentit looks like tundra
Bugscope Teamhaha Yeah!
- Studentwhat is that hole?
Bugscope Teamthat is the pore that the hair pokes through. Underneath the exoskeleton the hair is connect to nerves to give the insect feedback
- Studentahh I see
- StudentWow
- Student"it was easy; in Korean you have a similar word" reply: whats the world call?
- StudentWhat are those rectangular dark bits around the hairs?
Bugscope Teamsome of those appear to be small crystals of some kind of salt
- StudentWhy hexagons?
- Studentthat's a eye!
- StudentWow, it looks like eye.
- StudentOh may god!! Really?
- StudentHow does salt get on the bug?
- StudentWhy are the compound eyes consisted of hexagons? not pentagons?...
- StudentIs it eyes?
- StudentWhat is the niche of the dragonfly?
- StudentWhere does this bug live?
Bugscope Teamit is a dragonfly, so they live all over the world
Bugscope Teamand since their nymphal forms are aquatic, probably somewhere near fresh water.
- StudentI can't see the picture well.. It's blurry
- StudentWhy are those eyes shaped as hexagons?
Bugscope Teamthat shape is seen quite often because it is the best shape for things that are essentially round to close-pack into a 3D structure like a dome
- Studentdid u guys watch seussical the musical???
Bugscope TeamI missed it
- TeacherPlease give KChung2018 control
Bugscope Teamgot it
- 5:35 pm
- StudentExcuse me, but How much do you guys earn per year?
- Bugscope Teamthere is a Korean word that sounds like gigi
- StudentWhat are those lines?
- Studentwhy is it so flat?
- StudentWhy is the eye damaged?
- Studentwhat are those scratches?
- StudentWhat is that scraches?
- Studentwhy is it
- TeacherPlease give KChung2018 control
- Studentwhat is this bug? too blurry and not moving and zooming in
Bugscope Teamthis now is close up on the eye of the stag beetle, which must have been the size of an ocean liner
- StudentWhat is that
- Studentwhat is this?
- StudentWhy is the scratch on the eye?
Bugscope Teamfighting with other beetle-type dudes
- StudentOh lol
- StudentDaisy :) - Think we zoomed into the hexagon... not sure
- StudentAre we directly on the eye? Why are there no hexagon shapes appearing?
Bugscope Teamit has some sort of protective film on it
- StudentAre those hairs that loks like a scratch?
Bugscope Teamthose are reall scratches
- StudentAre those dust
- Studentdesert
- StudentCan scratch on their harm its eyes or protect its eyes?
- StudentSo is there the hexagon shapes underneath this protective film?
- Studentit looks like a land where the ground cracked :)
Bugscope Teamyes it does
- StudentAre those JUJUs?
Bugscope Teamlooks like there is some juju on it yeah
- StudentI guess their eyesights are bad.. This beetle has too much damages
- Studenton its eye
- StudentCOol
- StudentWhat are the differences between bugs cells and animals cells?
- Studentwhy does the eye have a protective film on it?
Bugscope Teamthey can't easily protect it and their eyes won't heal like ours do.
- StudentThat's cool
- StudentIt looks like that it has a beard
- StudentThis is the back of the head I think
- Studentgross....
- StudentHow can the scratches on its eye harm them?
- StudentWhat a big eye!
- StudentI think that is an the bottom
Bugscope Teamif you were to drive south, you would see the mouth -- the mandibles
- StudentWhere is the eye part?
Bugscope Teamthe outer portion we see now is all eye
- 5:40 pm
- Studentvery weird
- StudentThins dragonfly has lots of hairs yuck!
- StudentIs that furry part the mouth of the dragonfly?
Bugscope Teamthat is further south
- StudentIs thier eyesight in color?
Bugscope Teamthey can see colour, but i think they can't see red? but they can see UV.
- Studentinteresting
- Studentis that black thing mouth?
Bugscope Teamno the mouth is further down on the head
- StudentWhy there are a bunch of thread in its mouth?
- Bugscope Teamthere is the mouth
- Student...which part is the mouth?
Bugscope Teamyou're looking at the dragonfly from below the "chin"
Bugscope Teamoops, i meant from the front.
- Bugscope Teamwe are getting some lag because we have such a large group on today. but it seems to be working alright
- StudentWhy is their fur near the mouth?
Bugscope Teamit's most likely mechanosensory- like sense of touch
- Bugscope TeamThe eyes are those two gigantic domes in the back with the tiny tiny hexagon shapes
- Bugscope TeamDragonflies have excellent vision, as they are diurnal (day active), and are visual hunters.
- Studentthere are two things sticking out on each side of the head
Bugscope Teamthe eyes
Bugscope Teamthe eyes
- StudentHow does the dragonfly eat?
- StudentMy account is lagging
Bugscope Teamyeah, sorry
- StudentHow does the dragonfly eat?
Bugscope Teamyou can see its mandibles, almost at the bottom
- StudentThank you Joe:)
- StudentWhat is that rectangle structure right bottom of the eye?
Bugscope Teamwhich part?
- Studentis these balls (Eye) and is it damaged?
Bugscope Teamthe big round things on either side of the head are compound eyes and they have little scratches on them but aren't very badly damaged
- StudentDoes dragonfly have nose?
Bugscope Teamno it does not; it smells with the chemosensory setae -- the things that look like hair
- 5:45 pm
- StudentThe dragonfly's mouth looks like human's mouth
- StudentWhat are those furs on the mouth part for?
Bugscope Teamfor hor/cold sensing, taste, and touch
- Bugscope Teamsorry hot/cold -- thermosensing
- StudentWhy do they need hair around their mouth?
Bugscope Teamthe hairs there are probably gustatory (helps them with tasting), and possibly mechnosensory as well, (sensing movements, wind speed/directional changes, etc..)
- StudentWhy are there three layers of what-I-think-is-mouth?
Bugscope Teaminsect mouths are quite complicated; when you see them eating, all of those parts move up and down and sideways
- Studentthere are white hair as well as black ones
Bugscope Teamthey may be black in real life -- we are using electrons to collect these images, so there is no real color
- TeacherPlease give control to Daekyu
Bugscope Teamgot it
- StudentWhat are those little holes all over its mouth?
- StudentThe dragonfly's mouth looks like human's mouth
Bugscope Teammaybe it that person had a mustach and instead of their mouth moving up and down, it moved side to side
- Bugscope Teamthis is one of the mandibles
- Studentthat looks like a cave
- StudentIs there special reasons in on the mouth par?
Bugscope TeamOlivia I am sorry I don't quite understand
- Studentwhere is the reproductive system of the bug I want to knowk'."
- StudentWhat are those little holes on the surface of the mouth?
Bugscope Teamthose holes might be where there used to be hairs (setae)? not really sure.
- Studentwhere is the reproductive system of the bug I want to knowk'."
Bugscope TeamDude it is at the other end
- 5:50 pm
- StudentThis is Mr. Miller. Can you give control to Daekyu please?
- Bugscope Teamdragonflies mate in the air, and they have to be careful so their heads don't fall off
- Bugscope TeamDaekyu has control. There is a lot of lag because so many people are on.
- Studentwhere is the reproductive system of the bug I want to know
Bugscope Teamit is not in this area; it is at the back of the abdomen
- Bugscope TeamDragonflies have a pretty unique mating system. The males and females form what is known as a mating wheel. The males use clasps at the end of the abdomen to grasp females by the thorax (their neck), and the females curl their abdomen around so that it meets the male's thorax underside, where the male sexual organs are.
Bugscope Team*accessory organs
- Studentwhere is the reproductive system of the bug I want to know
- Studentwhere is the reproductive system of the bug I want to know
- Bugscope Teamthat is how you get deleted
- StudentHow much is this microscope?
Bugscope Teamit cost about $600,000 in 1998
- Bugscope Teamthey cost about the same now
- StudentDirty cave
- StudentWhat is that circle thing?
Bugscope Teamis a mold spore
- 5:56 pm
- Bugscope Teamonce insects die, mold moves in quickly and starts to decay it
- Bugscope Teamnow you can see some of the fungal hyphae
- StudentHello, I can chat.
Bugscope TeamHello!
- Bugscope Teamthis is a friendly little praying mantis
- Studentoh
- StudentThis section looks like a soft cushion! What are those holes on the surface for?
- Bugscope Teamsee the mandibles?
- 6:01 pm
- Teacherwe are all disconnected here
- StudentThe internet is disconnected for most of the people
- Bugscope Teamthe connection should be back now
- Bugscope TeamI killed the server for a second
- Studentthe dragonfly's face is wide.
- Bugscope Teamwe have more than 40 people on and usually have problems with more than 25 or so
- Studentthe dragonfly's face is wide.

- StudentHi
- StudentConnection is back!
- Bugscope Teamtotally cool
- Bugscope Teamwe were doing well with so many people, but that may be why we were getting that big lag -- I'm sorry
- Bugscope Teamthis is a closeup on the mandibles of the praying mantis
- Bugscope TeamPaul Nam has control now
- StudentYay!! I'm back
Bugscope TeamYay!
- StudentYay!! I'm back
- StudentI am connected. Sorry, our class were all disconnected.
- StudentWhat is that wiggly area?
Bugscope Teamthat is the sharp part of the mandible where it cuts into the prey
- StudentThe internet keeps on disconnecting
- Bugscope Teamthe jaws, or mandibles, open and close from the sides like a gate
- StudentDisconnections everywhere
- Bugscope TeamI am sorry.
- StudentWhat are those big parts called?
- Bugscope Teamit is coming and going
- StudentI am bacjk 2
- StudentWe don't have stable internet connetion now.
- Bugscope Teamso sad

- StudentI am back!
- StudentI am back!
- Studentcool
- StudentI am here
- StudentYay we're back!!
- Studentwho's connected???
- Studentwe are having trouble connecting to Bugscope web
- Bugscope Teamtenent setae are sticky setae that are found on something called a pulvillus
- StudentConnected!
- Bugscope Teamthey help insects stick to surfaces, like when a fly walks on the ceiling
- StudentWhat is the name of that bug?
- StudentWhat are these rocky looking bendy things?
- StudentI am back
- Studentwe can get internet but cant connect to bugscope
- Studentme~
- Studenthttp://bugscope.beckman.uiuc.edu/interface.html
- StudentI'm back
- StudentI'm back
- StudentI'm back
- StudentConnected!]
- Bugscope Teamthis is on the pulvillus of the beetle from Malaysia that had been included in the specimens you sent
- Studentwhat extreme..
- 6:17 pm
- Studentsorry I clicked enter too many times
- StudentI'm back
- Student:D
- Bugscope TeamI am sorry -- this is not working here now
- Studentthis looks cool
- StudentWe're getting connected and disconected every 5 seconds....
- Studentyeah
- Bugscope Teamit is so slow
- StudentIt looks like a skeleton
- StudentIt looks like a skeleton
- StudentHey, the internet connection at our school is being weird, and not a lot of us can get on.
- StudentWhat is this???????

- Studenthello
- StudentWhat are those leave kind of things?
- StudentLooks like bone.
- 6:22 pm
- StudentI'm connected again
- StudentThis works now!
- StudentWhat are those little white spots on the long stick-looking figures for?
- Studentis this the reproductive system or dna??
Bugscope Teamthis is part of the hand
- Bugscope TeamI am very sorry -- I am not able to communicate well from here either
- Bugscope TeamAshley has control, finally...
- Bugscope TeamBut I am not sure if we can sustain this, with things being so slow
- Bugscope Teamsome mold spores for you, so pretty
- 6:27 pm
- Bugscope Teamyou all I am sorry -- I am going to have to shut down now
- Bugscope TeamI am sorry for all of the delays, all of the lag.
- Bugscope TeamBut it was so very nice to work with everyone today.
