- 2:13pm
- Bugscope Team Hello!
- 2:21pm
- 2:27pm
- Bugscope Team Nice spikes.
- Bugscope Team No ceiling walking for this dude.
- 2:34pm
- 2:40pm
- Bugscope Team hi, mr. s, welcome to bugscope!
- Bugscope Team Hello Mr S!
- Bugscope Team we are still making presets, but will be done very soon, 5 minutes
- Bugscope Team ant dude
- Bugscope Team this one has more complex compound eyes than usual
- Bugscope Team ok, presets are done, session is unlocked
- Bugscope Team mr. s, you should see controls on the right side of the browser. if you don't remember to hit F11 to make your browser go to full screen mode
- Bugscope Team I am back, on IE7
- Bugscope Team mr s., do you see this chat? please respond
- Bugscope Team mr s. i will try calling in a couple of minutes if i don't see some chat from ya. i'm a little worried you are at 1024 resolution and can't see the chat...
- Bugscope Team Hi Angel!
- Bugscope Team hey angel
- Teacher I am sorry i was away
- Bugscope Team okay, no problemo, glad to see you!
- Bugscope Team Hey good deal.
- 2:46pm
- Teacher I am also signened in as angel to see how it looks for the students. They will arrive at 1:30 my time
- Bugscope Team Mr S you have control and can move around, choose presets, change mag, etc.
- Bugscope Team OOF
- Bugscope Team excellent, if you want us to switch control to angel, let us know. only we can switch controls over to students
- Bugscope Team the controls for students and teachers are exactly the same
- Bugscope Team try focus
- Teacher What am I looking at
Bugscope Team this is the head of an ant
- Bugscope Team if it gets worse go the other way
- Bugscope Team an ant head
- Bugscope Team but it is OOF.
- Teacher what is oof
- Bugscope Team oof = out of focus
- Bugscope Team thanks Nation of Alexes
- Bugscope Team NOA
- Teacher I am on explorer should I try firefos?
- Bugscope Team mr. s, the presets on the bottom right will take you to interesting locations
- Bugscope Team no, if this is working, stick with it
- Bugscope Team un;ess you are having trouble you need not change
- Bugscope Team unless...
- Bugscope Team do you see the controls and the presets?
- Teacher I am still learning what to do
- Bugscope Team awesome, any questions just let us know. we are here to help
- Bugscope Team you are doing well and have lots of time
- Bugscope Team try clicking on a preset on the bottom right
- 2:51pm
- Bugscope Team there are 9 different presets to choose from, you should be able to scroll down to see more presets... ah nice zoom in there!
- Bugscope Team there are an earwig, a couple of bees, an ant, a true bug, and a ladybug (an Asian lady beetle) on this stub.
- Bugscope Team this is silver paint on the carbon tape
- Bugscope Team cool, so when you drive, you click once to start moving, then click again to stop moving.
- Bugscope Team if you get lost, just click on a preset
- Bugscope Team otherwise you may venture beyond the know world
- Bugscope Team if you don't like clicking to drive, you can try click to center. click to center is easier to control.
- Bugscope Team known
- Bugscope Team world
- Bugscope Team ants always look like they have a second insect in their mouths
- Bugscope Team nice
- 2:56pm
- Bugscope Team focusing can be tricky. if you go one direction and it doesn't get better, then try going the other direction.
- Bugscope Team also, there is a slight lag for the command to complete in the scope, so don't click too fast. if you do, it'll tell you on the image 'please wait for command to complete...'
- Teacher I am slow but I am getting it
- Bugscope Team Cate on from San Francisco.
- Bugscope Team you are doing great mr s!
- Bugscope Team yeah I thinking brb, brp...
- Teacher this is sweet
- Bugscope Team doing a great job, like alex said
- Bugscope Team glad you like it, this is bugscope 2.0, much improved over 1.0
- Teacher what bugs are available?
- Bugscope Team kids love zooming in and out too, they'll scream sometimes...
- Bugscope Team ladybug, earwig, two bees, ant, Hemipteran of some sort
- Bugscope Team the earwig was kind of beat up but had mites nevertheless
- Bugscope Team ah, the hemipteran is the true bug
- Teacher Is that a dust mite?
- Bugscope Team earwigs are cool because they will usually have mites on them
- 3:01pm
- Bugscope Team we found 3, this one was the best looking
- Bugscope Team it's a mite that we find on some larger beetles and on earwigs
- Bugscope Team dustmites have soft bodies and don't look so good in the 'scope without having been critical point dried
- Bugscope Team they shrivel up like aphids
- Bugscope Team this is one of the mandibular palps on the lady bug face.
- Teacher How far can we magnify?
- Bugscope Team the little nubs are chemosensors -- so it can smell its prospective food
- Bugscope Team you can go up until it doesn't make sense to magnify anymore
- Bugscope Team we can take worthwhile images at 200,000x -- like, publishable images
- Bugscope Team but with insects/arthropods there is rarely anything to see at high mag like that
- Bugscope Team the pad we see on this tarsus is the pulvillus
- Teacher the detail is amazing
- Bugscope Team it has setae that help it stick to glass, or to the ceiling
- Bugscope Team good magnification for bugs is ususally between 20x - 20,000x, right scott?
- Bugscope Team pollen
- Teacher on a flower?
Bugscope Team on the true bug
- 3:06pm
- Bugscope Team it is sometimes hard to distinguish between pollen and mold spores, but mold spores are often smaller, and they deform -- they collapse when they dry
- Bugscope Team pollen is more robust
- Bugscope Team the weird contrast is caused by charging
- Bugscope Team Mr S we hope to have entomologists on later to help us out
- Bugscope Team now you need to focus
- Bugscope Team 2 microns is the length of a bacterium
- Teacher up or down
- Bugscope Team if we have bacteria on this sample somewhere we can see them
- Bugscope Team looks like up
- Teacher how would we find bacteria?
- Bugscope Team we would look for a dirty place on an eye, maybe
- Bugscope Team there you go -- better and better
- Bugscope Team this is as Cate said charging up with electrons and this has some distortion in it
- Bugscope Team at the top
- Teacher While I log on more computers why don't you drive to see if you can find one. i will write when I am back
- Bugscope Team when the electrons cannot go to ground this is what happens
- 3:12pm
- Bugscope Team those lumps almost look like crusted over mites
- Bugscope Team juju, 'microvilli'
- Bugscope Team yeah they did look like mites
- 3:17pm
- 3:22pm
- Teacher I have some really bright students. It is my goal that they come away amazed with what science can do and the unique creatures we have in the world. I hope that some will continue on in biology or chemistry. so more than knowledge for this session is the love of science
- Bugscope Team sounds cool
- Bugscope Team scott is still looking for some bacteria
- Bugscope Team let us know if you are ready to take control
- Bugscope Team students are welcome to ask us anything, including thing about our jobs in science, or what we went to school in to get our jobs...
- Teacher I am back
- Teacher did you find a bacteria or a small single cell critter
- Bugscope Team scott is still looking
- Bugscope Team sometimes they are hard to find
- Teacher We have just finished up on cell biology
- Bugscope Team but if you are ready to control the scope, let us know and he'll stop looking
- Bugscope Team are your students watching?
- Teacher not yet
- Bugscope Team ok
- 3:28pm
- Bugscope Team scott found something. these are fungus
- Bugscope Team scales from a moth or something with fungal hyphae crossing one
- Bugscope Team it is sometimes hard to find bacteria
- Teacher the students are just arriving
- Bugscope Team coolness
- Student We're here.
- Bugscope Team oak hardbor students, welcome to bugscope!
- Student hi
- Student okay im here!
- Bugscope Team let us know if you have any questions
- Student ello poppett
- Student lets get this party started

- Student ello
- Student we're here
- Student holla!
- Student Nathan is so hot
- Student Nathan is so hot
- Student Nathan is so hot
- Student Nathan is so hot
- Student Nathan is so hot
- Bugscope Team Hey welcome to bugscope!
- Bugscope Team awesome. so this is bugscope, you get to control an electron microscope over the internet
- Student ()
- Student Nathan is so hotNathan is so hotNathan is so hotNathan is so hotNathan is so hot
- Student Nathan is so hot
- Student Nathan is so hot
- Student Nathan is so hot
- Student Nathan is so hot
- Student Nathan is so hot

- Student Nathan is so hot
- Bugscope Team typing practice
- Student : )
- Student stop! science time
- Student aren't we though
- Student really
- Student wow! thats amazing
- Student come on
- Student pretty much yeah
- Student :)
- Teacher So where do we start
- Student I love science!!!!!
- Student brandon your boring
- Bugscope Team why dont you start by either driving somewhere or click on a preset
- Bugscope Team go to a preset if you would like
- Student Hi
- Bugscope Team well, start by click on a preset and asking questions about what you see, we'll do our best to answer any questions you may have
- Student wow this is fun!!!
- Bugscope Team and let us know when you have questions about anything
- Bugscope Team Hi Izzy.
- Bugscope Team mr s, if you want a student to control the scope, let us know and we'll transfer control
- Bugscope Team This is a moth or butterfly scale on a true bug body
- Teacher number 8 please
- Student Hi Scott!
- 3:33pm
- Student what is it : )
- Teacher then let me drive
- Bugscope Team awesome, this is a bee, at 2532x magnification.
- Student l
- Bugscope Team now we are looking at setae coming out of the chitin, not sure where we are
- Bugscope Team Mr S you have control
- Student i dont get it
- Bugscope Team these are setae on a bee
- Student wow
- Bugscope Team we are looking at the setae on a bee. setae are hair like structures that help the insect to sense it's environment
- Bugscope Team now you can see the chitin -- the cuticle -- up close
- Bugscope Team setae are hairs belonging to an insect
- Student wooooooo pritty
- Student Mr. S is such a good driver
- Bugscope Team this shape means that the chitin is stronger here
- Bugscope Team nice focusing
- Student What is that?????
- Student whos his favorite?
- Student it looks like a crack
Bugscope Team yes, often cracks appear on the insects when we dry them and put them in the scope.
- Student nope
- Bugscope Team and that it may have a different color or reflection because of the shape
- Student looks like the bee got a bo bo
- Bugscope Team yeah there is a fine crack there
- Student what is that
- Student what is that circular shape?
- Student what from?'
- Student it is a crack
- Bugscope Team now we are out of focus
- Student wow!
- Student okay so it is a crack
- Bugscope Team take down the magnification a bit, then try focusing
- Student what kind of crack?
- Student what could the crack be from?
- Bugscope Team stress fracture from drying
- Student could you see the crack with the naked eye
- Bugscope Team Hi Smiley!
Bugscope Team no way, it's very small
- Student ohh........
- Bugscope Team probably not Nathan.
- Bugscope Team Hello everyone
- Bugscope Team too small
- Student : )
- Bugscope Team notice the scale bar on the bottom left of the image... um is a micron
- Student hi smiley!!
- Bugscope Team now if you see the micron bar you get an idea of the scale of the imaging
- Student trees
- Bugscope Team 1 micron = 1 millionth of a meter
- Bugscope Team 44 microns is 0.044 millimeters
- Student wow they do look like trees1
- Student are the tree looking theings hairs?
Bugscope Team yes, they are hairs, but they are called seta, they help the insect to sense it's environment
- Student it's my dog
Bugscope Team Small dog...I bet it is easy going for a walk with him =)
- Student fuzzy!
- Student lol
- Bugscope Team 288 microns is 0.3 mm
- 3:38pm
- Bugscope Team you can see the antenna
- Bugscope Team ball and socket connection to the head
- Student that would be an amazing dog!
- Student yep
- Student wow, that's so amazing!!! it looks pokey!
- Student are those hairs in its eye?
- Student ?? ok..............
- Bugscope Team this is the socket for the antenna conncted to the head
- Bugscope Team it has tiny setae on it that allow it to feel the position it is in
- Student it has hair on its eye
- Teacher mine isn't centering
- Bugscope Team the eye is a little ways away
- Student I didn't know that ants were so hairy...
- Student were is it's eye?
- Bugscope Team click to center is not working?
- Bugscope Team there it goes
- Student thats way cool!!!!!!
- Student '';;''
- Student cool stuff!
- Student so is that a leg?
- Teacher Would you please let the nathans drive
- Bugscope Team nope, it's an antenna on the head
- Student God created them so uniquely! :D
- Bugscope Team this is the ball part of the antenna
- Bugscope Team ok nathans go for it
- Bugscope Team nathens you have control now, go for it dude
- Bugscope Team and Nathans has control
- Student oh!
- Bugscope Team yes it does look like it is wet
- Student are those bubbles on it? what are they?
- Student what is that dot?
- Student is that water on it's antenna?
- Student they look like isicles
- Student just part of it?
- Student a ball of nasty
- Student whats that?
- Bugscope Team it's not water, most likely dust
- Bugscope Team its just a juju as scott would call it
- Bugscope Team it is hard to tell what some tiny thing like that is
- Student cool
- Student what is a juju
Bugscope Team just means it is dust or dirt, not something meaningful
- Bugscope Team you can see that there is some film of oil on the insect body
- Bugscope Team the bugs are in a vacuum in the scope
- Bugscope Team which happens often
- Bugscope Team ry before they go into the scope
- Bugscope Team juju is our all-purpose word for goo that we do not recognize
- 3:43pm
- Bugscope Team or as Cate says...
- Student haha thats smart
- Student i like it
- Student hum
- Student thats cute
- Student tree of nasty
- Student sweet =>
- Student i think im going to start saying juju from now on!
- Student lol
- Bugscope Team the electron beam is strong and making the sample move a little
- Student i kno a juju
- Student whats that hole thing behind the hair?
Bugscope Team the hairs, or setae, come out from holes in the exoskeleton of the insects
- Bugscope Team nathans, you can also click on a preset on the bottom right to take us to another bug
- Bugscope Team because we are very close to this sample
- Student
- Bugscope Team the hole is where the seta is connected to nerves on the inside of the cuticle
- Student mmmmmmmmm....... chiken
- Bugscope Team the exoskeleton of insects have no nerves on the, so the hairs communicate the outside world to underneth the exoskeleton of the bug
- Bugscope Team you can also see the rectangle where we had the beam focused for so long
- Student does the juju get in there and like mess stuff up?
- Student okie dokie doe... :) this is so cool looking at a hair on an ant's head... :)
- Bugscope Team well not now
- Bugscope Team the eye is to the right there
- Bugscope Team dome-like compound eye
- Bugscope Team all insects have lots of setae, remember they are SETAE, not HAIRS
- Bugscope Team you can tell that ants use their antennae more than they use their eyes
- Bugscope Team good driving Nathans
- Student
- Bugscope Team the individual facets of the eye are called ommatidia
- Student wow, that's an intense eye...
- Student congratulations
- Student !
- Student : )
- Student what are those? :P
- Student ok, what are wee looking at?
Bugscope Team omatitia
- Student wow what are those bumps?
- Student the buble things?
- Student they look like bubbles
- Bugscope Team these are indvidual eye facets -- ommatidia
- Student sluge
- Student oh
- Bugscope Team insects have these compound eyes, amde up of many individual eye facets (bumps) called ommatidia
- Student what that blob is?
- Bugscope Team there are setae sticking out from between some of them
- Student whats that juju on the eyey?
- Bugscope Team there is a seta in between the ommatidia
- Bugscope Team omatitia are the parts a compound eye is made of
- Bugscope Team dirt
- Student that looks like "juju"
Bugscope Team looks like it to me too
- Student ew
- Student whoa thats cool man !!!!!!!! :)
- Student ewwww.. that's gross
- Student no it's not
- Student :D
- Student kk
- 3:48pm
- Bugscope Team when one of these eyes is broken we can see that the ommatidia are crystalline
- Student : (
- Student hmmmmm it kindda reminds me of a slug!
- Bugscope Team like lenses
- Student cool
- Bugscope Team yeah like a super tiny slug
- Student go izzie!
- Student yeah, go Hannah!
- Student oh fyi this is Brando not Bando and Jesse too
- Teacher please give Izzy a chance to drive
- Student but we like the power
- Student darn
- Student time for myspace
- Student whoot whoot
- Bugscope Team ok izzy your turn
- Bugscope Team sometimes ants are blind and sometimes they have still fewer ommatidia
- Bugscope Team these are simple eyes
- Bugscope Team the ocelli
- Student ohhh i see how it is skip us!
- Student what is it
- Student weird
- Student yet cool
- Bugscope Team there are three, and they are found on the top of the head in flying insects
- Student this look interesting
- Bugscope Team they help the insect orient to the sun
- Bugscope Team those are simple eyes that flying insects will usually have
- Student way**
- Student why not an even number
- Student ?
- Student what is that christmas tree?
- Bugscope Team keep an idea of the direction they are going
- Student i like christmas tree
- Student i looks like a christmas tree
- Student me too
- Student ?
- Student w/snow!
- Student ??????????????????//
- Student is that pollen
- Student ?
- Student : P
- Teacher How much does this scope cost?
Bugscope Team $600,000.00
- Student it looks like snow1
- Bugscope Team not pollen
- Student JESSE: it loook like mold.
- Bugscope Team about $600,000 9 years ago
- Teacher Are you graduate students?
Bugscope Team I am a grad student, in the program of neuroscience
- Student yikes!
- Student $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
- Student thats a lot!
- Teacher How many years of college do you have collectively?
- Student yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! money
- Bugscope Team Claudi (Smiley) is a grad student
- Bugscope Team most of us are staff at the Beckman Institute - U of I
- Student $6000 isn't that much...is it?
- Student oh
- Student my bab
- Student bad
- Student sorry
- Student my bad
- 3:53pm
- Bugscope Team there are others involved in bugscope, many years of college collectively
- Bugscope Team I have a B.S. in physics
Bugscope Team currently I have a BS in research psychology and a BS in Bio
- Bugscope Team master's at least
- Student it looks like smoke
- Student what school?
Bugscope Team I am at Florida State University but came from UIUC where Cate, Scott and Alex are
- Student Over Six hundred thousand dollers Cha Ching!!!
- Bugscope Team Cate is a Geniust
- Student is that juju or something important?
- Bugscope Team and scott has one in english and bio
- Bugscope Team I have a BA in English and Biiology
- Student cave man club
- Student ok guys...bring it together
- Bugscope Team d'oh!
- Teacher Is this funded by government grants or beckman
- Student nope
- Bugscope Team this was funded at first by grants
- Student nice
- Bugscope Team now we run it as outreach and absorb the cost
- Bugscope Team the 'scope was bought using NSF funding
- Bugscope Team bugscope has been around for 9 years
- Teacher Please let angel drive
- Student angel good luck
- Student you have friends in high places
- Student whats that big disk?
- Bugscope Team angel, you are the man!
- Student alright! I'm not driving anymore! :D have fun Hannah!
- Bugscope Team try one of the presets Hannah
- Student this looks like an elvish forest
Bugscope Team better look out for those orcs
- Bugscope Team nice job driving izzy
- Student with lots of lights
- Bugscope Team yeah it was an Elvish forest
- Student i am batman
- Bugscope Team now this is pollen
- Student is that pollen?
- Student Mckenna drove too... so I can't take all the credit...
- Bugscope Team the round spikey things, yeah
- Student OK
- Bugscope Team love the pollen
- Student nice!
- Student good job mckenna!
- Student wow, those are cool little spikey things!
- Student pollen eh?
- 3:58pm

- Bugscope Team good job focusing
- Student ooooooooooowwwhhhh pritty
- Student ohhh.....
- Student it looks like spnges!
- Student what thoose dots of black?
- Student ya by the way i'm not that smart
- Student really?!?!
- Student it's a city of little people in the pollen
- Student this is fun... is that dirt on the pollen?
- Student yep!
- Bugscope Team now we are at high mag and it is more difficult to focus
- Student thats a lot of holes
- Student what does the pollen do?
- Student oh, I get it now... sorry about that... :)
- Bugscope Team bacteria are 2 microns long, so we could see them easily if there were any
- Teacher You have this well set up
- Bugscope Team you all are doing a great job driving
- Student why are we grey?
Bugscope Team good question, the microscope is an electron micropscope. that means electron are used to gather the image. electron are very very small, smaller than the wavelegth of light, so in fact it's not poissible for this scope to gather light to create the image. it can only grab electrons, and it builds the image from those electrons in one color really: or shades of a single color, which we see as black and white or grey as you say
- Student I second the motion
- Student oh never mind
- Teacher We have a different driver at the angel statopm
- Bugscope Team this microscope has a field-emission electron gun and gives us very good resolution
- Student omgoodness!
- Student by little people
- Bugscope Team mite
- Student ewww
- Student oh...
- Student sweet
- Bugscope Team earwigs often have mites like this
- Student yummy
- Student it looks gross
- Bugscope Team these are blind
- Bugscope Team Scotts favorite
- Student really?
- Student Jesse: ewww
- Bugscope Team don't forget to click to stop
- Student whats happening?
- Student + Jesse: groovy
- Bugscope Team or it will keep going
- Student I can't see
- Student craders?
- Bugscope Team this is doublestick carbon tape, with the craters in it
- Student looks like swiss cheese
- Student there are little cracks everywhere!
- Student 9
- 4:03pm
- Student oh
- Student do you guys have water bears?
- Student interesting
- Student i am not seeing anything
- Student slow down this thing!!!!
- Student why
- Student ?
- Bugscope Team we have had water bears (tardigrades), and there are images of them in the virtual microscope
- Student hey.. im having a problem driving
- Student oooooooooooh
- Student really
- Bugscope Team click to stop angel!
- Student yeah!!!!: )
- Student fun fun fun~
- Bugscope Team Hannah.
- Student we should examine some
- Student what?
- Bugscope Team angel: click to start moving, then click to STOP
- Student no
- Student can we stop this madness
- Bugscope Team angel, you are clicking once to start moving, you MUST CLICK AGAIN to stop moving
- Bugscope Team choose one of the presets
- Student do you want my head to explode?!?!?!
- Student can we look at pic. # 2
- Bugscope Team torries
- Student what is # 3
- Student oops
- Student opps
- Student I meant # 3

- Student did you guys get scholarships to your school?
Bugscope Team when I was at UIUC I had a fellowship and now at FSU I have a fellowship as well
- Student uhoh
- Bugscope Team it's not focused
- Student woooooooo gray
- Student can you ever squish your specimen?
- Student schools*
- Student that's a good question Hannah!
- Student what is * for?
- Bugscope Team yeah we can squish samples against the polepiece if we are not careful
- Student where is the head?
- Student right there!
- Bugscope Team Smiley is very clever
- Student can WE squish it?
- Student okay
- Student yeah~
- Bugscope Team um sorry about the head...
- Student I still don't see the head
- Student it's ~~~~~?
- Bugscope Team Angel you can't squish it because you don't have up and down control
- Student OH
- Student yep!
- Student is UIUC a D3 School as far as athletics go?
- Bugscope Team Nathan it is for sure missing
- Student thats good cause with my luck i would!
- Student give nathans the power
- Teacher Noah will drive as Nathan
- Student please
- Bugscope Team that is a fly leg
- 4:13pm
- Student ewww
- Bugscope Team we don't know much about athletics here
- Student why is it not connected?
Bugscope Team looks like it just fell off or something
- Student what is a fly leg
- Bugscope Team we are on the engineering end of campus
- Student oh....
- Student 0% sports?
- Bugscope Team this (Beckman) is a nerd paradise
- Bugscope Team there are sports but we don't have anything to do with them
- Student are we good to drive??
- Student do you have pics?
- Student is there photos of you?
Bugscope Team http://bugscope.beckman.uiuc.edu/who_are_we
- Student so did u guys ever do any crazy pranks at school?
- Student jk
- Bugscope Team we work underground and don't go outside
Bugscope Team I work on the fourth floor and lucky me when I go from my office to lab I have to work outside...sometimes the rare moment to see day light =)
- Student lol
- Bugscope Team there are photos of us on the bugscope website
- Student what is a fly leg????
- Student everyone i know at college dose
- Student i appreciate that!
- Student hahahahahahahaha lol lol lol
- Student sweet!
- Student I am going to look and see
- Student was it worth goingto school for all that time?
Bugscope Team yeah, college is fun actually
- Student they have hairy legs!
- Bugscope Team Angel we have pretty cool jobs for the most part
Bugscope Team I love it...and I am glad I met all the cool people doing bugscope at UIUC and evn though I am at FSU now...I still like to do Bugscope
- Bugscope Team this is fun
- Bugscope Team we get to see cool cutting edge research
- Student yeah college is but what about afterwards?
Bugscope Team well, yeah, of course after is fun
- Student this is fun
- Student What's the semesterly tuition?
- Student so how long have you been into science?
Bugscope Team i got really into it in high school, i took every science class it had
