- 7:57am
- Bugscope Team putting the sample in
- Bugscope Team Cate is doing that now...
- 8:12am
- Bugscope Team Morning everyone
- Bugscope Team Morning Chas
- 8:18am
- Bugscope Team we will start presets in a minute
- 8:24am
- 8:36am
- Bugscope Team oh nice, diatoms. haven't seen them in a while
- 8:44am
- 8:50am
- Bugscope Team unlocked the session
- 8:56am
- Bugscope Team Good morning Mrs Phelps!
- Bugscope Team This is terrible -- we do not recognize, for sure, any of the insects.
- Teacher Good morning
- Bugscope Team One is a true bug, and one is a fly with piercing mouthparts...
- Bugscope Team hello Mrs. Phelps
- Bugscope Team We need our entomologist to log in.
- Teacher we tried to choose the unusual ones the kids caught for their collections
- 9:01am
- Teacher should I be seeing the controls for the microscope
Bugscope Team yes, they should be on the rightside of your browser window.
- Bugscope Team What class do you teach Mrs. Phelps?
- Bugscope Team I should tell you my grandmother lived in Lakin, and my grandfather. Another grandmother in Dodge City -- she was once the superintendent of schools for Ford County. And my mom is from Bucklin.
- Bugscope Team are you missing the controls?
- Teacher 5th grade science
- Bugscope Team Are you not seeing the controls?
- Teacher yes, i could move to a different computer
- Bugscope Team first, try hitting refresh
- Bugscope Team are you using the same computer you ran the compatibility test from?
- Bugscope Team refresh is F5
- Bugscope Team If you are logged in as the teacher you should see controls to the upper right and presets to the right of the chat.
- Bugscope Team also, try hitting F11, that will expand your browser to full screen mode
- Bugscope Team it may be your browser window is too small.
- Teacher my tech guy fixed it
- Bugscope Team awesome!
- Bugscope Team Cool.
- Bugscope Team If you would like to drive, or test presets, feel free -- the 'scope is all yours,
- 9:07am
- Bugscope Team One of the bugs has lots of diatoms on it -- kind of a cool thing to see.
- Bugscope Team Mrs Phelps are you going to have kids log on today or are you running with a projector or smartboard ?
- Bugscope Team Welcome to Guest 1 as well...
- Teacher the students are getting ready to log in
- Bugscope Team My family is from western Kansas, all around Ulysses.
- 9:12am
- Bugscope Team Cool.
- Bugscope Team Good morning Commontern!
- Bugscope Team morning guys
- Bugscope Team good morning!
- Bugscope Team Please let us know if you have questions about what you see, or about the electron microscope, or anything else.
- Bugscope Team Hello everyone
- Student greetings feelo bug likers
- Bugscope Team hi students, welcome to bugscope!
- Student hi
- Student hi to you too
- Bugscope Team greetings Donald and Abe, and Itzel and Gladys.
- Student how are you doing
- Student is it a bug??
- Student hi
- Bugscope Team We are great...ready to see some bugs really close??!
- 9:17am
- Student join us
- Student wats up
- Student its nice to meet to you
- Bugscope Team These are all insects you sent us, and we don't recognize them -- we may need some help identifying them.
- Student HI
- Student is this abug or what
- Bugscope Team Hey stone
- Student hi
- Student freddy
- Student what bug is that
- Student what is this
- Student wat yo
- Bugscope Team all the things on the stub today are bugs
- Student hi
- Student hello
- Student wut up
- Student what is this we are looking at?
- Student what is this
- Student thats interesting
- Student hey stone its me donald and abe
- 9:24am
- Student what are we looking at
- Student what are the spickes on the insect
- Bugscope Team we coming back ok now?
- Student sweet picture
- Student yes
- Bugscope Team the spikes we see are called setae
- Student ok
- Student is it a termite
- Student whats a setae
Bugscope Team setae is the plural of seta and it is a hair-like structure
- Student what is it??
- Student hi
- Student hi
- Student hi
- Student scot is it atermite
- Student what kind of bug is this
- Student who knows jonathon
- Student what are the spikes for
- Student what is this
- Student What happened ?
- Student what is this
- Student what are we looking at
- Student What is this insect???
- Bugscope Team setae are hairlike projections that are often sensory -- they send signals to the nerves beneath the chitin.
- Student what is the bug called
- 9:30am
- Student what are we looking at right now
- Bugscope Team we actually don't know what any of these insects are, but annie might be able to tell us as we go along
- 9:36am
- Bugscope Team ok back
- Student yes
- Student ok
- Bugscope Team I would be more than happy to help indentify the insects
- Student hi to all!
- Bugscope Team wow I am back, I think
- Bugscope Team I can see everything but the screen
- Bugscope Team If you can decrease the magnification I can probably tell you what this insect is
- Student ok
- Bugscope Team so as we were trying to say, we weren't able to identify any of the bugs you sent us, but annie might be able to tellyou what they are as we go along
- Student ok
- Student wow what is this?
- Student what bug is that?
- Student what is this insect??/'
- Student thats a cool fly
- Student wat is that
- Student cool!!!!!!!!!
- Student its a fly claw
- Student COOOOOOOL!!!!!!!!!
- Student what is that
- Student awesome what are the laers on its leg 4
- Student coolwow
- Bugscope Team this is a fly
- Student nice fly
- Bugscope Team looks like
- Student That Awesome
- Bugscope Team insects are a lot hairier then they seem
- Student it has that much hair
- Student yes t is
- Student do you know how many hairs there are
Bugscope Team Nope, not on this insect. There are too many to count
- Student looks like a jelly fish
- Student looks like a jellyfish
- Student whats a tarsus????
- Student do you know how old it is?
- Student what is the bumpy pattern on the head called
Bugscope Team You may be refering to the eyes...and those are the compound eyes
- Student what is this
- Student What is this?
- Student 9000
- Student Hi logan
- Student thats alot of hairs
- Bugscope Team this is the head
- Bugscope Team the tarsus is what we call the forearm segments of an insect -- actually we call them tarsi, or tarsomeres.
- Student what is this
- Bugscope Team at the top of the head you can see the antennae, where one of them is broken off
- Student 9
- Bugscope Team this is some kind of fly with a nasty piercing mouthpart
- Bugscope Team in the middle of the head you can see the mouth of the fly
- Bugscope Team Each "bump" on the eye is one omatitium
- Student what part of the insect is this
Bugscope Team The underside of the head
Bugscope Team this is the head
- Student Tarsomeres is a weird word
- Bugscope Team ommatidium
- 9:41am
- Student does it have a missing antea?
Bugscope Team Part of one antenna is missing
- Student what is that hole on his head
Bugscope Team that is where an antenna broke off
- Bugscope Team I think this is a horse fly
- Student how long are there antena
- Student can u tell how old this bug is?
Bugscope Team Probably about 3 months old...that is a very weak guess
- Student is it dead
Bugscope Team yes all the insects right now are dead that you will be looking at today
Bugscope Team Yes, all insects being placed into the microscope are dead and dried
- Student Thats a cool fly
- Bugscope Team most of what we see on the left and right, are the eyes. and the mouth is in the middle
- Student what part of the fly are we looking at
- Student Wicked!
- Student how do you tell how old it is??
Bugscope Team Well, you figure that the insect is an adult, it had to go through larval and pupal stages. If the fly has one generation per year, three months is a good guess
- Student how long can flys live?
- Student what effects does it have when it loses an antenna
- Student I like the compuond eyes the best
- Bugscope Team this is the ventral side -- the underside -- of the head
- Student what color is it
- Student What kind of fly is it
- Student whats that
- Student how many insects are there
- Student what does it do
- Student is this under the ocean
- Student what that
- Student it looks like its smilling
Bugscope Team yeah it kind of does
- Bugscope Team sometimes body parts fall off the insects like legs are antennae especially when they are really dry
- Student what is this
- Student whats that
- Student What is it?
- Student is that its moth
- Student it's smiling
- Bugscope Team the antennae have lots of sensory cells on them -- they can use them to taste the air and get an idea of where certain smells are coming from
- Student its a fly!!!!!
- Student is it a butterfly
- Student What kind of bug is this?
- Student is that a blue beetle
- Student what kind of insect is this?
- Student looks like a crab
- Student it looks like a crab in a ball
- Student how can you tell if it a male or female
- Bugscope Team this is some kind of beetle
- Student does it have any missing parts
- Student is it a girl or a boy
- Student is there hair spiky
Bugscope Team Most often the "hair" setae is very fine...we could not even feel it with our skin
- Student what kind of insect is this?
- Student is that a fly
- Bugscope Team Hmm...this is a tricky one.
- Bugscope Team can't really tell right now if it is missing anything yet
- Bugscope Team oop now we are looking at the bases of the antennae
- Student thats awsome!!!
- Bugscope Team I am not quite sure what this is!
- Bugscope Team theres the antennae
- Bugscope Team and at the bottom of the screen the mouth
- Student what is it ?
- Student what type of insects to you study
Bugscope Team I study longhorned beetles..which are beetles that bore into wood as larvae.
- Student is its antena folded
- Bugscope Team hey congrats you stumped annie! lol
- Student how can you tell how old it is
- Student if you rubb over the body can you feel the hairs?
- Student is it a house fly
Bugscope Team not a fly
- Bugscope Team annie is our bugologist
- Student are those the antennaes
- Bugscope Team pbbblt Chas!
- Bugscope Team Annie has to guess because she doesn't know exactly -- she has to make an educated guess.
- Student are the antenna conected to the eyea
- Bugscope Team i'm telling you they have some weird bugs in kansas
- Bugscope Team heh
- Student what bug is this?
- Student are those hairs ponti
- 9:46am
- Student wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- Student what kind insect is this?
- Student Is this a bee
- Student what bugs do you like studying
- Bugscope Team this is the stinger
- Student what is this on the screen
- Student what bug is that
- Student cool
- Student what kind of insect is this
- Student +++
- Student does this have a tail
- Student it looks like the bottem part of the mouth is made of metal
- Student Is this a wasp
- Student what kind of insect has this stinger
- Student is that the head
- Bugscope Team this is the butt essentially
- Bugscope Team this is a stinger, and we are not sure what insect we are looking at -- we are sorry to say we did not recognize many of these bugs
- Student is this a stinger
- Student is this the same kind of bug
- Bugscope Team If Annie had been able to see them before we put them in, she would know
- Student are we look ing inside the insect?
Bugscope Team unless the bug has been dissected, then no. one of the electron microscope's unusual properties compared to a light microscope is that it never sees through the surface, even if it appears transparent to your eyes
- Bugscope Team this is a different kind of bug
- Student Is this a scorpine.
- Student is that the tail?
- Student does this sting hard
- Student what is youre favorite insects to study
Bugscope Team My favorite insects are longhorned beetles!
Bugscope Team Annie2 studies insects. I actually do not work with insects just when I am participating with bugscope
- Student is this a bee or wasp
- Student can u show us its mouth?
- Bugscope Team that was the tail portion
- Student can the bugscope only look at insects
- Student is this a body
- Bugscope Team it's not a bee or a wasp
- Student what kind of bug is that
- Student are these the legs
Bugscope Team Yes we are looking at the abdomen of mystery insect
- Bugscope Team we can look at lots of things -- not only insects
- Student cricket
- Student its probably the abdomen
- Student does this sting hard
- Student is this a fly
- Bugscope Team I love the eyes of insects though...and the mouthparts of butterflies
- Student Is it some type of a velvet ant
Bugscope Team I don't think it was a velvet ant...they are much hairier!
- Bugscope Team This kind of looks like a little bee or wasp..
- Bugscope Team usually people who use the microscope are imaging other things -- things they have made out of silicon, or plastics, or cells they have grown
- Student this a kool fly
- Student are the antennas connected to the eyes?
Bugscope Team No...they are just laying on top of the eyes
- Student scott what type of do you like
- Student is that the mouth
Bugscope Team Yes, we were looking at the underside of the head...so you could see the mouth
- Bugscope Team I especially like earwigs
- Student an amazing mouth
- Student wow!
- Bugscope Team earwigs often have mites, and it is cool to be able to see a bug on a bug
- Bugscope Team this is another mouth
- Student are those teeth?
- Bugscope Team speaking of bugs, I think this is a true bug
- Student is that a stinger
- Bugscope Team with its piercing mouthpart
- Student what is that
- Student this looks like a leg of a bug
- Student do bugs live over a year
Bugscope Team Some insects can live for many years. Some queen bees can live for 10 years or more.
- 9:51am
- Bugscope Team this is not a stinger but a pointed part of the mouth
- Student what is this
- Student Do they have teeth?
- Student is that the leg
- Student why do you study bugoligy
- Bugscope Team for piercing things like fruit, so the bug can get the juices out
- Student what is your favorite insect out of beetles or butterfkies
- Student they look like waves
- Student are those teeth or just bumps?
Bugscope Team We are looking at very small bumps on the mouth of an insect...so bumps, not teeth
- Student its a ocean
- Student has their ever been a deformed bug
Bugscope Team Deformed while alive? or when you view it under the microscope? The later can happens when the bug dries in in a strange way
- Student what kind of mouth part is it?
- Student whats in the background
- Student is this sharp teeth
- Student is the mouth
- Student what are we looking at
- Student What are those sharp things?
- Student is that a leg
- Bugscope Team this is the piercing part of the mouth
- Student is that hair
- Bugscope Team the background has setae of the bug
- Student don't some bugs only live a day??
Bugscope Team some bugs live only a few hours
- Student What bug is that
- Student what is this
- Student how long do they live
- Bugscope Team you can see that it has serrations on it that help it cut into the fruit it is eating
- Student what kind of bug is this
- Student what type of insect is this
- Student what is a satea
- Bugscope Team here we can start to see diatoms
- Student do bugs sneeze
Bugscope Team I do not think so
- Student what is that?
- Student do they have veins
Bugscope Team Insects don't really have veins. Their "blood," which is called hemolymph, flows freely inside the insect
- Student is this an antanae
- Student what are diatoms
- Student what is the brain type thing in the background
- Student how do scientist come up with scientific names of insects ?
Bugscope Team sometimes you can tell the names are based on latin words describing something important about the insect. sometimes I believe the scientists get to name them after themselves, etc
- Student Whats a diatom
Bugscope Team Algae
- Bugscope Team diatoms are usually single-celled algae that have a silica shell
- Student that is a big mouth part
- Student do they have brains
Bugscope Team Bugs have a "primitive" nervous system but do not have a brain
- Student .
- Student that a mouth
- Student is that the leg
- Student how many days do insects live
- Student who did this bug
- Bugscope Team they have a variety of shapes, and the ones in the 'scope today look like little canoes
- Student what are the spikes
- Student oh
- Student what is coming out of it
- Student are those legs
- Student what is that
- Student they have small hair
- Student what is this
- Bugscope Team the brain has to be able to fit inside the head, so it is pretty small
- Student why do they have hairs
Bugscope Team many many reasons. in some cases it may be the same reason as us: to keep warm
- Student are those legs
- Student what is the biggest bug u have did on the bugscope
- Student do you know how old they are
Bugscope Team Usually insects have one or two generations per year...which means per summer since insects are not very active in the winter. So, I estimate that most of the adult insects that we look at here today will be somewhere between 1 and 3 months old
- Student hats that in the middle??
- Student do you know how old it is
- Student are some bettles poiseinous
- Student Maurice Is this legs
- Bugscope Team in the middle we see the proboscis
- Student how many insects do you study a day
- Student is that a beetle
- Student do bugs get sick
- Bugscope Team that is the part that ends in the piercing mouthpart
- Student what is the layers on the thing between the other 2
- Bugscope Team the proboscis is something like a mouth
- 9:56am
- Student that looks like a braclet
- Student what are we looking at?
- Bugscope Team this is a knee on a leg
- Student what are we looking at
- Student what are the holes on the insect??????
- Student do they have ears
Bugscope Team they don't have ears like we do: recessed holes with complex structures and hairs, etc. they frequently feel the vibration of the air with their setae, or hair-like structures
- Bugscope Team now we are looking at a knee, and in the background is a compound eye
- Student What is this body part
- Student what is it anyway?
- Student do bugs miggrate
Bugscope Team Some do...I know that certain bees do...
Bugscope Team some insects migrate for thousands of miles like bees and butterflies
- Student what is that?
- Bugscope Team bugs do not have ears the way we would think of them
- Student do they have ears
- Student how many layers of skin do they have
- Student what is this
- Student what part is this
- Student why do insects harm us and help us
Bugscope Team They do neithr intensionally hurt or help us. They do what ever seems appropriate to ensure their survival
- Student are they smart ( by using there brains i mean)
- Student do bugs bite
- Student what is3
- Bugscope Team this is a knee
- Student
- Student that looks like a wing
- Student thank you
- Student im sorry but i have to go
- Bugscope Team and we are looking at some setae that stick up from the surface of the knee
- Student by
- Student by
- Bugscope Team cya guys. thanks for joining us
- Bugscope Team bye
- Bugscope Team Thank You!
- Bugscope Team thanks for chatting with us
- Bugscope Team We are sorry to have had connection problems this morning...
- Teacher thanks !
- Teacher we'll only log on with 20 this afternoon
- Bugscope Team this is an antenna of some sort of scarabeoid beetle
- Bugscope Team Bye
- Bugscope Team Whatever number we had one right now was working fine
- Bugscope Team It was fun
- Bugscope Team Thanks everyone for the good questions
- Bugscope Team it exposed a flaw we hadn't been able to test for before, and hopefully it's resolved. but it wouldn't hurt to start with a smaller number of client and work up slowly
- Bugscope Team So we are better prepared this afternoon.
- Bugscope Team I will have a look!
- Bugscope Team How many students are you expecting this afternoon?
- Bugscope Team 2:15 to 3:15
- Bugscope Team 20
- Bugscope Team =)
- Bugscope Team Mrs Phelps just told us she would hold the connections to 20
- Bugscope Team I will try to make it between two different ICC that I am running today
- 10:01am
- Bugscope Team Claudi that is 3:15 to 4:15 your time, Mademoiselle.
- Bugscope Team go ahead
- Bugscope Team hemiptera?
- Bugscope Team It is all up to...since nobody had a clue what bugs those were
- Bugscope Team cool, great work chas.
- Bugscope Team on fixing the issue i mean.
- Bugscope Team We should save the word...bugologist
- Bugscope Team This is a homoptera of some description....some sort of hopper.
- Bugscope Team the kids yesterday had a version of that word
- Bugscope Team yeah it does look sort of like the GB with that rounded head
- Bugscope Team self-anointing and all that
- Bugscope Team Something like that....so I will call this a leafhopper.
- Bugscope Team okay we will go with homoptera, and the hopper
- 10:06am
- Bugscope Team I can connect from my laptop and my computer on my desk...down to 78 Lol
- Bugscope Team scary
- Bugscope Team I have no idea what this is
- Bugscope Team well that makes me feel a little better
- Bugscope Team It looks scary...
- Bugscope Team I can help for another 20 minutes
- Bugscope Team Three entomologists don't know what this is...maybe a tenebrionid?
- Bugscope Team Are we testing now?
Bugscope Team no, we'll test later claudia. scott and annie are trying to figure out what the bugs are.
- Bugscope Team Wait...I only asked once?
- Bugscope Team it's like a parallel universe of bugs
- Bugscope Team This is a horse fly
- Bugscope Team Well...Kansas bugs =)
- Bugscope Team Annie has enlisted some of the bugologists she works with to help.
- Bugscope Team haltere
- Bugscope Team Good luck Annie and Scott...I hope to log back in later today =)
- Bugscope Team still the horse fly
- Bugscope Team see you later ;)
- Bugscope Team so we have a leafhopper/homoptera, a horsefly, which is some kind of diptera?, and the Ukrainian looking bug that we cannot ID.
- 10:11am
- Bugscope Team And this...
- Bugscope Team horse fly is diptera, yup
- Bugscope Team This is another diptera---maybe a robber fly
- Bugscope Team I can't tell for sure
- Bugscope Team okay, a robber fly. the kids are going to want to know what that means
- Bugscope Team They steal prey from other insects and from spider webs too!
- Bugscope Team whoop
- Bugscope Team diatoms all over the hopper
- Bugscope Team that takes some nerve to steal from spiders
- Bugscope Team now this one....
- Bugscope Team I guess they aren't too speedy, the ones that spin webs aren't
- Bugscope Team this looks like goofy, of the seven dwarves
- Bugscope Team it has an indented carapace that may be green
- Bugscope Team like an art deco beetle
- Bugscope Team this is a cuckoo bee
- Bugscope Team aka cuckoo wasp
- 10:16am
- Bugscope Team really?
- Bugscope Team aka jewel wasp
- Guest Hello: I am at NSF with some educators from NSF Child Development Lab.
- Bugscope Team I told the kids it wasn't a bee or wasp and then you said it looks like a bee or wasp
- Bugscope Team welcome Umesh!
- Bugscope Team the green color and indented abdomen give it away
- Bugscope Team We have finished a connection this morning with Ulysses Kansas.
- Bugscope Team If you want to log on as teacher you can drive this morning, until noon your time
- Bugscope Team or we can give you control
- Bugscope Team like now, you have control Umesh
- Bugscope Team they are called cuckoo wasps because they steal the host larvae's provisions. They have a hard dimpled body that protects them from the stings of other wasps and bees
- Bugscope Team neat!
- Bugscope Team we lost Umesh, maybe he will come back as a teacher
- Bugscope Team gah...chargy
- Bugscope Team are there any other critters on the stub?
- 10:22am
- Bugscope Team I think this is it
- Bugscope Team go towards the middle top
- Bugscope Team Robber Fly, Jewel Wasp, hopper, horsefly...
- Bugscope Team OK---those are my best guesses. I don't know what this beetle is
- Bugscope Team the one with the wingfs around it
- Bugscope Team oh yeah
- Bugscope Team drive me there
- Bugscope Team if you can
- Guest this is sarah from the child development center - should we be seeing color on the screen? you mention the green color below . . .
- Guest this is Sarah from the child development center - should we be seeing green color on the screen?
- Guest Test
- Bugscope Team no you will not see color
- Bugscope Team the insect was originally green
- Bugscope Team FINALLY, an easy one
- Bugscope Team but we coated it with gold-palladium
- Bugscope Team This is a plant hopper
- Bugscope Team and also you cannot see color when you are working with electrons
- Bugscope Team Thanks Annie!
- Bugscope Team thanks annie
- Bugscope Team the plant hopper is a mess
- Guest How old are the children in the classroom who are viewing this project? The children at the center who will be using this program are 4-5.
- Bugscope Team Sarah we were trying to help Annie determine what one of the bugs was.
- Bugscope Team I am getting a better ID
- Bugscope Team the kids today were fifth grade
- Bugscope Team kids who are 4 or 5 are a little young, generally. their attention span is shorter in out experience
- Guest This is Umesh now: Sarah is interested in knowing if it will be okay for children (ages 4-5) to participate.
- Bugscope Team you can do 4-5, it is still fun for them to see all the bug parts up close to where you can see things you can't normally see
- 10:27am
- Bugscope Team but like scott said, their attention spans are limited
- Bugscope Team Sure. It will be best to have the teacher drive, and also to have him/her ask questions
- Bugscope Team since the kids aren't likely to be typing much
- Bugscope Team some of them could, I guess
- Bugscope Team this is an acanaloniid plant hopper...no common name, but call it a wedge-shaped planthopper
- Bugscope Team awesome, Thanks Annie
- Bugscope Team homoptera
- Bugscope Team d'oh
- Bugscope Team I may be able to log in at 2:15. I have to go run PCRs today, so I may or may not be free. We'll see
- Bugscope Team does homoptera mean the wings are the same shape?
- Guest this is Sarah: can we send in worms and such that may not be "dry" items; what about hair or leaves, etc.?
- Bugscope Team worms will need to be critical point dried here.
- Bugscope Team No, it means that their wings are uniformly colored. Contrastes with hemiptera which have hemielytra---half elytra
- Bugscope Team if you can send them in ethanol it would be perect
- Bugscope Team hair and leaves would be fine
- Bugscope Team seeds would be fine
- Bugscope Team one artist we have worked with brought in snapdragon pods, which look like tiny skullls
- Bugscope Team skulls
- Bugscope Team that might not be so good for 4 to 5 year olds
- Bugscope Team pollen is good, salt is good...
- Bugscope Team OK---I gotta go set up my PCRs
- Bugscope Team thanks a bunch annie
- Bugscope Team Wendy's salt is very good
- Bugscope Team I will try to log back in
- 10:32am
- Bugscope Team Thanks Annie!
- Bugscope Team bye bye
- Bugscope Team ;)
- Bugscope Team Bye!
- Bugscope Team Umesh/Sarah you have control if you want to drive.
- Bugscope Team anything small and dry is good
- Bugscope Team if it is not dry we may be able to dry it
- Bugscope Team this is one mess of a bug -- the homoptera
- Guest this is Sarah: what is the timeframe between mailing in a specimum and being able to view it online?
- Guest can the our two preschool classrooms collaborate?
- 10:37am
- Bugscope Team i guess that depends how fast they can get here, preparing the actual sample stub doesn't take that long, even if you do have to critical point dry them
- Bugscope Team if it needs to be processed we need an extra day usually, and we need to find a time when everyone can work -- with the calendar
- Bugscope Team yeah critical point drying does not take too long, but we might not be able to do it right away
- Guest This is Umesh: Sarah has two classrooms (each with a computer). Would she be able to propose a session where both classrooms can participate?
- Bugscope Team the two preschool classrooms can certainly collaborate, sure
- Bugscope Team they can both log in with the same login at the same time, but only one person can drive at one time
- Bugscope Team so we can switch control capability to whichever classroom would like it, during the session -- on the fly
- Bugscope Team these are the antrennae on the head of the robberfly
- Bugscope Team antennae
- Bugscope Team this is the piercing mouthpart of a leafhopper
- Guest this is Sarah: thanks for allowing access to control the microscope!
- 10:42am
- Guest Scott, thanks much for letting us drive. Bye
- Bugscope Team Thank You Sarah.
- Bugscope Team See you online later.
- 4:26pm
