- 8:34 am
- Bugscope Teamtoday's sample is pumping down
- Bugscope Teamthis is a view of the chamber
- 8:41 am
- Bugscope Teamnow we're ready to start making alignments and then find presets
- 8:46 am
- 8:53 am
- 8:59 am
- 9:07 am
- 9:16 am
- 9:21 am
- Teachercan each of my students get on individual computers for this session? do they sign on as a teacher if so?
- Bugscope Teamthey can sign on as students, and if that is not available for some reason they can sign on as guests; they do not need a password
- TeacherWe don't start for over 1/2 an hour... but I wanted them to each be using their own laptop for the bugscope if possible
- Bugscope Teamabsolutely
- Teacherif they sign on as guests can they operate the SEM?
- Bugscope Teamsometimes there are lag problems if there are, for example, 30 computers
- Bugscope Teamit depends on the connection
- TeacherI've only got 16 students
- Bugscope Teamshould work well
- 9:26 am
- TeacherWe are headed to our media center in 30 minutes... chat with you then!
- Bugscope Teamsuper cool

- StudentGGGUUYYY!!!!
- Studenthi guy
- Studenthi guy
- Studenthi guy
- Bugscope Teamhi!
- Studentlol
- Bugscope Teamplease let us know when to give which student control
- Studenthi guy
- Bugscope Teamjust let us know which student you would like to have control first
- Studenthi cate
- StudentYou have the "flu"
- Studentcool moths
- StudentMoth scale
- Bugscope Teamawesome that Guy cn
- Studentme
- Bugscope Teamcan get on today
- Teacherlet's go with Josh
- GuestSJSEM This is a moth, correct?
Bugscope Teamthis is part of a moth, just a piece of wing
- Studentso lets move on shall we
- Studentcooooolll
- StudentCate,what is the weird um Thing?
- Bugscope TeamJosh is the supreme ruler
- Studentlol
- Studentme to
- GuestDang it Josh!
- Studentnooooooooooooo
- StudentYEAH JOsh
- Studentall hail
- Studentsweet
- Studentm
- Studentthis is so cool
- Studentwhat is the picture of
- StudentWHAT HAPPENED!!!!!
- Studentzoom in OVER 9000!!
- Bugscope TeamJosh can change mag, go to another preset, focus, etc.
- GuestAll Hail Josh, the supreme ruler of the Microscope.
- StudentCate,what is the 20,um microns thing?
- Studentdoes cate work with you
- Studentwhat does 20 ums mean?
Bugscope Team20 microns, or micrometers, which are thousandths of a millimeter
- GuestJosh your making mine laaaaaaaaaaaagggg
- StudentWow
- Studentwhat the what
- Studentlets learn
- Studentthata a lot of scales
- Bugscope TeamCate is an electron microscopist
- Studentwhat other pictures do you have
- StudentWOW
- Studentsuper small
- 9:57 am
- Bugscope Teamthese are live images from the scanning electron microscope
- GuestI think when their name is green it means they are a scientist Kathrine.
Bugscope Teamgot it!
- Bugscope Teamsuoer cool, good driving, Josh
- TeacherCan we give control to Brant now?
- Studenthow old is this moth? and was it preserved?
- Bugscope Teamsuper
- StudentTHanks!
- GuestLOOK AT ITS FACE
- Studenthow long did you have to prepare for these pictures
- Bugscope Teamthis is close up on the face of a flying true bug
- Studentwhat is this?
- Studenti messed up
- Studentwhich one
- Studenthow big are real true bugs
- Studentare those hairs on its face?
- Bugscope Teamwe made the sample this morning, coated it with gold-palladium, put it in the 'scope and pumped the chamber down, made some adjustments to the beam, and then went looking for cool stuff for you to see
- Studenthow close does the magnification go
- Studentit looks likes there's weeds around it what is it sj?
- Studentnice, that's cool
- Studentis this bug a moth
- StudentWhat is the black spot on the eye i zoomed in on
- StudentWhat is a fling true bug?
Bugscope Teamall bugs are insects, but not all insects are bugs. True bugs kind of look like beetles, but they have a long proboscis, like an elephant's trunk, they use to pierce either other insects or plants to eat the juices. Cicadas are true bugs
- Bugscope Teamthe black spot is some juju that is charging up with electrons
- StudentOK
- Studentwhat is this
- Studenti cant see anything
Bugscope Teamrefresh your browser, maybe?
- StudentWhat are the cracks on the eye
- Studentyou can see hte bumps in the surface
- StudentWhat part of the bug is this?
- StudentWhy does it look like it is cracked on the eye?
- Studentis that an eye
- Studentwhy do the eyes look cracked?
- Bugscope Teamthis is the compound eye of the flying true bug
- TeacherCan Logan have control now?
Bugscope Teamlogan has control
- Bugscope TeamLogan is the supreme ultra commander
- 10:02 am
- Studentwhy thanks
- Studentthe scales seem cracked
Bugscope Teamthose are ommatidia, the eye facets, and they have some kind of film on them that is cracked
- Studentscot i was never a commander Tear*
- Studentit looks like waTER is coming out of the eye
- Studenti had control
- Bugscope Teamthis is far better to look at
- Studentwhat is this
- StudentTHe fruit fly head
- Studentwhat part are we looking at
- Bugscope Teamyou can see that the fruitfly's head is tilted at an odd angle
- Studentwhat are the tiny bumps
- StudentThe head
- Studentis it the face
- Bugscope Teamin the center, almost, is one of the antennae
- Studentthe eye is made out of other eyes?
- Studenthow many small eyes does it have
Bugscope Teamprobably several hundred
- Student?
- StudentWhat is the "mouth"thing near the bottom left?
- Studentare there spikes on the eye
Bugscope Teamyes there are; they help the fruitfly sense wind
- StudentDoes the eye see stuff in different color than our eyes
- Studentis that hair
- Studentwhy is the eye dented
Bugscope Teamit probably got mangled a little bit some time after it died
- TeacherGive Ryan control now
- Studentis that hair on the fruit fly
- Studentis this a fly.it has lots of tiny eye things
- Studenthow can you teel the gender of the bug
- Studenthow can you tell the gender
- Studentcan it see with hair?
Bugscope Teamno, but it can feel with them and sense things with them
- Bugscope Teamhaha this is Scot and sjSEM
- StudentDo you know who invented this?
- GuestCan insects see color?
Bugscope Teamyes and often they can see colors we can't, including ultraviolet
- Studentwhat is this
- Bugscope Teamwith flies, you can often tell males from females by how close their eyes are to each other
- Studentyeah are they color blind
- Studentwhy can they see those colors but we cant
- Studentis that the wing of a butterfly?
Bugscope Teamyes we are on a butterfly wing
- Studenti never knew bugs could look so cool
- Bugscope Teamwe cannot see UV light without help, like with a blacklight
- Studenthow many layers does it have
Bugscope Teamum just one layer, really
- Studentare these scales?
- Studentare there tiny wings on the giant wing
- Student/
- 10:08 am
- Studentso it is just small layers
- Studentwhat type of microscope is this
Bugscope Teamthis is a scanning electron microscope (SEM)
- Studentis this unattached to the bug itself?
Bugscope Teamyes it is -- we took the wing off of the butterfly
- TeacherCan Justin have control now?
Bugscope Teamjustin has control
- Studentla la
- TeacherThe students are really enjoying this! Amazing images and the remote operation of the SEM is mind-boggling
- Studentwhat is the spot in the right corner
- Bugscope TeamJustin is the pope of the 'scope
- Studentcool
- Student is that the leg
- Studentis that the leg
- Studentcool
- Studentis that hair on the claw?
- GuestI didn't know that bugs were so complex.
- Bugscope Teamthe final five to seven segments of the leg are called tarsi, or tarsomeres
- Studenthow long have you had this sample
- StudentIs that 2 fingers or claws
Bugscope Teamclaws
- Studentwhatis the tarsus?
Bugscope Teamit is a leg segment
- Studentare those spikes hairs
Bugscope Teamyes they are setae (see-tee), and they have numerous functions
- Studentwhy do these bugs have claws when they dont use them?
Bugscope Teamthey use them in a manner similar to how we use our hands
- Studenti think the hairs are for sensing
Bugscope Teamyou are exactly right
- TeacherGive AJ command, please ;)
Bugscope Teamgot it!\
- StudentIs this a part of the beetle or this unattatched?
Bugscope Teamthis is the body of a beetle
- Studentwow
- Studentwhat is that
- Studentis it not supposed to be straight?
- Studentwhat are the feather like things
Bugscope Teamthey're scales, which are also a form or of setae
- GuestBeing bitten by a mosquito must be like a tiny needle. Why doesn't it hurt?
- TeacherCan you please give Katherine control now?
- Studentis the proboscis broken on the tip\
- 10:13 am
- Studentare there layers on this
- Bugscope Teamyou can't usually see the hairs with the naked eye
- StudentHow long are the hairs from the naked eye?
- StudentWhat are flakes on the proboscis?
Bugscope Teamthey're scales, which protect butterflies, mosquitoes, moths, butterflies, and silverfish from spider webs
- Bugscope Teamwhen you rub a moth or butterfly's wings, the powder are the scales
- StudentHow long does the process take for the bug to be ready?
Bugscope Teamusually they are just air dried; coating them takes 5 or 10 minutes
- Studentis the head really big in real life?
- Studentdoes this have a proboscis
- Studentwhat part is this
- Studentwhat is this part of the head
- StudentWhy do they call it the cucumber beetle?
- Studenthow long are the hairs?
- Studentshouldn't the proboscis be sharp for cutting through skin
Bugscope Teamthe cutting or piercing parts are within the proboscis. mosquito proboscis have cutting parts that have serrations like a steak knife\
- Studentwhat are the spike like things that was on the head?
- Studentit looks like there are bumps on the head
- Studentis this the beetles face.i think i saw an antenae
- Studentwhy is there a "string"?
Bugscope Teammore things that don't belong. hair of someone maybe or lint
- TeacherCan Guy have control now?
Bugscope Teamguy has control
- Studentcool
- Studentare the eyes on the side of the head?
- GuestThe head looks like it has bumps and craters. Why?
Bugscope Teamthe bumps are the individual facets, or ommatidia, of the compound eye. they each see a part of the picture
- Studentwhat are those near the head
- Studentsweet
- Studentwhat are the circle on the head
- Studenthow long is its antennae
- GuestAre those antennae?
- Studentis that the microscope light on the ceiling
- StudentWhy do they call the beetle the cucumber beetle?
Bugscope Teamthey are a pest for cucumber plants
- Studentwhat are those things on the head
- Studentwhat is the tube in the background is it a part of his body
- Guestwhat are those sticks
- Studentwhy are there three tubes coming from the head?
- 10:18 am
- Bugscope Teamthe light parts are the compound eyes
- Bugscope Teamthe sticks are the broken antennae
- Studentwhat are the tube things?
- Studentthats cool
- Studentwhat the hole thing
- Studentawesome
- StudentDo bugs have joints like us?
- Studentwhy do they have so many broken antennae
- Studentdid you cut them off
Bugscope Teamthey fell off.
- Student?
- Bugscope Teaminsects get very brittle after they die and dry out.
- TeacherCan you please give control to Allyson?
Bugscope Teamshe has control
- StudentDo you kill the bugs
- Studentwhat color is this bug
Bugscope Teamdark brown i think
- Studentwill the eyes rot
- Studentthank you
- Studentis that the ribcage?
- StudentWhat part is that on the fly body
- GuestCan insects blink?
Bugscope Teamno they don't. they use their legs to wipe off anything that is sitting on it
- Guestor do you kill them
- Studentwhats the comb
Bugscope Teamthe comb is likely used to help clean the antennae or limbs
- Studenthow many bugs of each do you have?
Bugscope Teamwe dont have very many because it's winter right now
- StudentPlap? sorry
- StudentWhats a beetle palp?
- Studentwhat are those stick things
- StudentWhat is a plap?
Bugscope Teamthey are mouth parts that are used to taste or move around food
- Studentwould that be wet if the bug was alive
- Studentwhat are the white dots on the ends of the hairs
- Studentpalp what is that
Bugscope Teama palp is an accessory mouthpart that helps insects/arthropods manipulate as well as taste their food'
- Guestdo you find the bugs dead?
Bugscope Teamsometimes. sometimes we capture them when they are alive and then stick them in the freezer
- Bugscope Teamthe round bumps are the parts of the compound eye
- Studentwhy are there lumps
Bugscope Teamthe lump-like things are ommatidia -- eye facets
- TeacherPlease give Kate control now?
Bugscope Teamkate has control
- Studentwhat the "petal thing"
Bugscope Teamthose are scales
- 10:23 am
- Studentit looks like little air pockets
- Studentcooool
- Bugscope Teammosquitoes have scales too
- Studentwhat are the spikes?
- GuestHow do the eyes focus on one thing?
- Studentdoes the eye have anything inside the puple?
Bugscope Teamyes; crystals and pathways that lead to nerves and to the brain
- Studentwhat are the small bumps
- Guestif one of the eyes have a crack or a slice does it affect their sight greatly or does it make them only not see a little bit
- Studentthey are sharp
- StudentCan you change the 20 microns to get a different picture of the Bug?
Bugscope Teamyou mean either focus, or change magnification? yes
- StudentTwo main*
- StudentHow many eyes does it have not including the twomain eyes like the tiny eyes inside?
Bugscope Teama couple hundred maybe
- Studentare there cuts?
- Studentwhat is a pulvillus
Bugscope Teamit is a pad covered with tenent setae that help the insect cling to surfaces
- StudentBoth
- Studentthanks
- Studentdo those help the bug in anyway?
Bugscope Teamyes, depending on what you are talking about
- Studentare the hairs for sensing air pressure
- Studentthe antennea
- Studentwhat are the cracks?
Bugscope Teamthe cracks are in the conductive carbon tape we use to stick the bugs down
- Studentwhat are the cracks
Bugscope Teamthose are the segments in the antennae
- StudentWhat is a sponging maouth part?
- Studentwhy is it "sponging"
- StudentWhat is the Sponger part of the mouth for?
- Studentare those wet
- StudentMouth*\
- Studenthow does a fruitfly sponge
Bugscope Teamthat part would normally be wet, with saliva
Bugscope Teamit uses its spit to break down food to make it liquid. then it sponges up the liquid with its mouthpart
- Bugscope Teamthe insect spits saliva on its prospective food, and the saliva dissolves sugars in the food, and the insect sucks it all up
- Studentdoes the fruit fly suck up its food
Bugscope Teamyes exactically
- TeacherPlease give Isabella command of the SEM :)
Bugscope TeamIsabella has control
- Studentdid you stick the whole bug on the plate
Bugscope Teamyes in this case we did; sometimes they are so large we cannot
- Studentthanks
- Studentpart?
- Studentcccooolll
- Guestwhat is the closest magnification
- Studentdoes the fruit fly eat anything other than fruit
- Student?
- 10:28 am
- Studentis that its eye?
Bugscope Teamthose are ommatidia -- the individual components of the compound eye
- StudentWhy is it dented?
- Studentis it dented
Bugscope Teamsome of them are dented because the insect is dead and they are deforming from being dry
- StudentDoes it eat cucumbers?
- StudentWith the compound eye does it have a puple?
- Studentdoes the fruit fly eat anything other than fruit
Bugscope Teamit is said to feed on the mold on fruit
- Studentdoes the beetle have a nose?
Bugscope Teamusually they do not really have noses; instead, the chemosensory setae help them taste and smell
- Studentdo you know if the surface of this bug is rough
Bugscope Teami think a lot of insects feel a bit rough because their exoskeletons are like a suit of armor for them
- Studentwhat are the stick things
Bugscope Teamwhat we see now that look like sticks are fungal hyphae
- GuestDo you have arrachnids in your lab?
Bugscope Teamsometimes
- Guestwhat is the huge stick going out of the forehead?
Bugscope Teamthat is one of the antennae
- Studentis something going into its eye
- Studenthow hard exactly (if you know )is the exoskeleton
- GuestI'm sorry if i'm spamming...
- Studentwhat are the things sticking out of its nose thing
Bugscope Teamthe proboscis has to provide suction and also be manipulable
- Studentdo each part of the eye have a puple
Bugscope Teamno they do not really have pupils
- TeacherCan Emme have control now?
Bugscope TeamEmma is the supreme ruler
- Studentthe eye looks thinner than normal
- StudentWhy does this bug have so many parts to it?
Bugscope Teamthey need to have lots of parts like we need to have lots of parts
- Studentare all of the bugs on the same plate
Bugscope Teamyes we can give you a view of the inside of the vacuum chamber if you want
- Studentdoes the bug ever get "sick"?
Bugscope Teamyes they have their own diseases
- Studentwhat kind of diseases?
- StudentCan they give the dieseases to us
- Bugscope Teambees have a disease that can be given to them by mites that get on them
- StudentWith the microscope i know it is not a Light Microscope, Does it use different types of light like black
Bugscope Teamthis microscope uses electrons
- Studentparts of the hairs are cut.why
- 10:33 am
- Studenthow many bugs do you catch each day
Bugscope Teamnot so much lately because we are having a pretty tough winter
- StudentView!
- GuestIs there any way to see the inside of your subjects?
Bugscope Teambreak them open or use a transmission electron microscope (TEM)
- Studentok
- TeacherWe would LOVE a view of the inside vacuum chamber!
Bugscope Teamokay just a sec
- Studentview it please
- GuestWow...
- Studentwow
- Studentcoooooooooooooooooooooooool
- Studentwha
- StudentWOW!!!
- StudentWhoah!
- Studentis a bug on the plate
- Guest lots of bugs on ONE plate
- Studentwhoa!!!!
- Studentwhat did you put in there
- GuestThis is the equipment you're using?
- Bugscope Teamthis is inside the 'scope; the platter is 1.75 inches across
- Studentwhat subjects are on that plate?
- StudentCan you send me the address SCOT?
- TeacherThat is amazing! Can you explain why a TEM would show the inside of the speciman and why a SEM does not...
- Bugscope Teamwith TEM you need superthin samples.
- Bugscope Teamwith a much stronger beam current, the TEM's beam images through the sample.
- Studentwho invented the microscope
Bugscope Teama number of people worked on this
- Studentwhat are the points
- StudentWhat are those things?
Bugscope Teamthe triangular things are tenent setae
- TeacherCan you give Nicky control now? Thx!
- Studentwhat is the tenent setae
- Studentlike who
- Studentwhat is on the left
- Studentwhat bugs are they
Bugscope Teammosquitoes, craneflies, beetles, fruitflies, a wasp
- Studentwhat are the points
- Studentare those legs?
- Studentit does josh
- Studenthow long did it take to invent
Bugscope Teamover time maybe 15 years plus it is still being improved
- Studentthanks!
- Studentoops sorry
- StudentWhat did the Tenent collect
Bugscope Teamtenent is like the word tener in Spanish, to have or to hold
- 10:38 am
- StudentWhat is a pulvillus?
Bugscope Teamit is a pad that has lots of setae on it that help the insect cling to surfaces
- Studentwhat is a pulvillus
Bugscope Teamit is the pad of setae that some insects have. These special setae, called tenent setae, are for walking on vertical surfaces
- TeacherCan Nicky have control?
- Studentwhere do you find most of the bugs?
Bugscope Teampeople send them to us, and we catch them, and we find them dead sometimes
- GuestLooks like a claw...
Bugscope Teamthese are claws
- Studentcate, what is a setae?
- StudentWhat did the Tenent collect i saw what it looks like dust/pollen
Bugscope Teamdust and pollen stick to them
- Studenthow long do you keep the same sample
- Studentwhat is this part of the bug
Bugscope Teamthis is the tip of one of the legs/arms, and it is a claw, or set of claws; we can see that the tip of one is broken
- Studentis that a leg?
Bugscope Teamit's the end of one of the legs
- Studentis the claw chiped
Bugscope Teamyes it is!
- StudentWhy is that chiped?
- Studentso its a foot?
- Studentwhat is a tenent setae
- Studentthanks.you learn something new every day
Bugscope Teamwe do too, if we are lucky, if we are paying attention
- Studentwhat are microns
- TeacherCan you see this?
Bugscope Teamyes!
- Studentwhat Are these claws made of?
Bugscope Teamthe same as the rest of its exoskeleton- chitin. It just might be thicker layer
- Studentcool
- Studentmy teacher wants to know if Nicky can have control
Bugscope Teamsorry. got it now
- GuestDo you have to do anything to the bugs before putting them in?
Bugscope Teamjust make sure they are dry
- Studenthow long do you keep the same sample
Bugscope Teamwe will throw it away today
- Studentdoes the leg have any suction cups?
Bugscope Teamthe tenent setae have that functions
- Studentwhat is that
- Studentcool
- Studentmosquito head
- GuestWhat happens if you put them in when theyre wet or moist?
- Studentit is a mosquito head
- StudentGuy
- StudentWhy are there so many fuzzy things on its skin?\
- StudentWhat are the scales made of?
Bugscope Teamchitin, kind of like the exoskeleton
- Studentis that the whole bug?
- Studentwhat are the leave looking things?
- Studentis the mosquito on its back
- Studenthow does the bug stick to walls
Bugscope Teamthe tenent setae, on the pads called pulvilluses, help them stick
- Studentis this a adult mosquito
Bugscope Teamyes it is; whenever an insect has wings it is an adult
- Studentis this the underside of the bug
Bugscope Teamthis is the top, sort of
- StudentAre those legs,if so They are VERY long!?
- 10:43 am
- Studentok*
- Bugscope Teamyou can see a lily pollen grain
- Studenti think they need to be long bryant
- StudentAre the wings colored?
Bugscope Teamthey are kind of brownish
- Bugscope Teamto the upper right is a pollen grain
- StudentI*s this a female or male?
Bugscope Teamfemale; we can tell by the less-ornate antennae
- GuestmOSQUIT HEAD.
- Guestdo the males have more colorfull skin like animals
Bugscope Teamsometimes; there are so many insects it varies
- StudentAre the eyes dented on this one?
- StudentHow do they get their color? Are they born with it?
Bugscope Teamit develops as they metamorphose
- Studenthow do bugs breathe in air?
Bugscope Teamthrough pores called spiracles
- StudentWhy did it just go bright? Is it the microscopes magnification or does it do it automatically?
- Studentwhat are the feather things?
Bugscope Teamthose are scales, which protect the moquito from spiderwebs
- Studentis it through their mouths or a part of their body?
Bugscope Teamthey breathe through spiracles, which are holes that run through their bodies.
- Studentthanks
- Studentokay
- StudentDo all these bugs have perminit colors
- TeacherCan Lina have control now, please?
Bugscope Teamgot it!
- Student?
- StudentThe black part on its leg?
- Bugscope Teamout of it
- GuestI used to be KIKI :D But the computer logged me out
- StudentDo bugs have joints like us?
Bugscope Teamyes
- Studentare these moth wings?
- Studentare there holes in that scale?
- Studentwhat do you look for when you study the bugs?
Bugscope Teamwe dont usually study insects, but the people who do are often looking for specialized parts.
- Studentare the wings wearing down?
- Studentdoes that mean they wont get stuck in spiderwebs? SJ
Bugscope Teamthe scales are the same as what we find on butterfly wings, what seems like powder to us; they come off easily, and so when an insect that has them flies into a spiderweb, they stick to the web and the insect may be able to escape
- Studentwhat is this
- 10:48 am
- StudentWhat is that cracked part on the scale
- Bugscope Teamlike chemoreceptors on antennae, which are for sensing chemicals in the air
- Studentok thx SJ
- Guestare some bugs invertebrates
- StudentHow far can you zoom in the (SEM)?
- Studentdo bugs have bones if so are they really thin?
Bugscope Teamthey do not have bones; they are invertebrates, which means they do not have backbones, but they do not have bones at all
- Studentare those nerves between eachpart of the scale?
- Studentthank sj
- Studentwhat is that
- Studentwhat are chemorecepters?
- Student4
- TeacherCan Yasmine have control now... number 16!
- StudentWhat is the cracke part on the scales
- Studentwhy are there little holes
- GuestHow many scientists are on this?
Bugscope Teamtwo
- Studentwhat do you coat the bugs in
- Studentwow
- Studentrealy
- Studentare those nerves between each part of the scale?
- GuestI thought there were three, SCOT, SJ, and CATE
Bugscope TeamScot, sj, sjSEM, and Cate are two people
- Studentmetal, Kathrine.
- Studentdo u guys study anything other than bugs with the electron microscopes?
Bugscope Teamyes we train lots of researchers to do a huge variety of work; this is just fun for us
- TeacherYou have both handled the barrage of questions from my students very well! :)
- Guesthow many scientists are in your lab about
Bugscope Teamthere are five people here to train several hundred people per year
- Studentwhat do you coat the bugs in
- Guestwhat kind of other things do you study
- Studentdo u guys study anything other than bugs with the electron microscopes
Bugscope Teamyes from materials to biological samples to biomaterials
- Studentha ha what are the hairs
- StudentHow many scientists does it take to catch the bugs? How long?
Bugscope Teamwe get them over time, so it just depends
- StudentCan this study bigger objects, Like snakes or...Small cats?
Bugscope Teamhaha no only pieces of large things
- GuestBryant loves cats
- Studentwhat do you coat the bugs in
Bugscope Teamgold-palldium alloy
- 10:53 am
- Bugscope Teamoops Katharine gold-palladium alloy
- Guestis that a eye that got hit off
- Studentwhat are the flakes
Bugscope Teamsilver paint
- Studentwhat is the real color of the eye
- StudentAre the fly's sitting upright or laying down?
- Studentdo you use anything special to catch the bugs?
- Studentthanks
- Studentup
- Bugscope Teamthe gold/palladium targets are a bit expensive
- GuestGold?! Thats expensive for insects.
Bugscope Teamit is super thin, like 20 nanometers thick\
- StudentTHANK YOU!!!
- StudentTHANK YOUUUU!!!!!
- StudentTHANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TEACHING
