Bugscope TeamCate or Teppie are in the 'scope room and likely are tweaking the focus for you.
- Bugscope Teamhi maussi
- TeacherThank you!
- Bugscope Teamwhen we run Bugscope we set up at a longer working distance than you would if you were looking at specific arthropod parts
- TeacherHello UConn students!
- Bugscope Teamso you're not going to get killer resolution at a long working distance
- Bugscope Teamsorry i changed the view away
- TeacherWe have to thank the Bugscope team for handling the behind the scenes work.
- TeacherI have control now of the images and we will wait for more of you to join us.

- Teacherlets see if we can get closer
- 2:21 pm
- Guestare the little indentations between the eyes ocelli?
Bugscope Teamthe ocelli will be on the top of the head behind the bases of the antenna. not sure we can see them right now
Bugscope Teamthe indentations we see have a cool name I cannot recall; they're like sprues that support the inside of the exoskeleton
- Teacherapodemes
- Teacherthe indentations that project inward
Bugscope TeamCool! Thank you!
- TeacherI am actually zoomin out to move more easy
- 2:27 pm
- Teachermoving to the thoracic spiracle
- Bugscope Teamlet us know if we can do anything that will help, as the controls are goofy today
- Bugscope TeamI was thinking of a tentorium. Maybe it is a little different because it has a pit on the outer surface of the head.\
- Teacherto what insect does this spiracle belong to?
Bugscope TeamIt is a house fly
- Teacheryes the tentorial pits - that is more correct description
- Bugscope Teamthis is a housefly
- 2:33 pm
- Teacherwe will go to the fly ocellus.
- TeacherI will zoom in
- TeacherI thik we were looking at the microscope stage
Bugscope Teamyes just a minute ago you got a quick view of the stage -- I was trying to find this little fly
- Bugscope Teamthis is doublestick carbon tape; now we see two sample holders; now we're on the tiny fly head
- Teacherthank you .. I think I zoomed in way too much
Bugscope TeamAna you are doing a good job but the software is kind of wigging out
- 2:39 pm
- TeacherWe are done with the ocellus. thank you
Bugscope Teamlet us know if we can help you get somewhere else
- TeacherI will move on to the black beetle head
- Bugscope Teamone of the tick arms shows a slit where the Haller's Organ is -- we cannot see inside on that one
- Teacheryes thank you. I have selected to move to the black beetle head
- TeacherI will move on to the decapitated beetle
- 2:45 pm
- TeacherI hope this works with your microcope set up
- Teacherthank you for resetting it. I will try to magnify to zoom in close to the antenna
Bugscope Teamcloser?
- 2:52 pm
- Teacherwe are zooming in on the setae found on the antenna
Bugscope TeamOh man, that looks cool!
- TeacherWe will be wrapping the session soon.
Bugscope TeamNo worries...
- 2:57 pm
- TeacherWe will finish up by looking at the tick mouthparts
- Bugscope Teamthe field beneath the head of the beetle looks different because it is covered with colloidal silver paint. Outside of that you see the carbon doublestick tape
