- Guest ich
- Guest u be hatin yall
- Guest i want some gold
- Guest Do bees eat mushrooms?
- Guest beehave yourself!
- Bugscope Team does a student want a try at controlling the 'scope?
- Bugscope Team the sample is coated with gold-palladium
- Guest waaaaaaalllle
- Bugscope Team jimb, can we'd like to give control of the microscope to a student, if that is alright with you?
- Bugscope Team it's more like mushrooms eat bees, eventually
- Guest True. Hear, hear.
- Bugscope Team llama do you want to drive?
- Guest Don't they say that during toasts?
- Guest Perchance.
- Guest K? do you?
- Guest ok
- Guest hmph.
- Guest K wants to.
- Bugscope Team you have control now llama
- Guest Oh, no.
- 11:37am
- Guest bwahaha
- Bugscope Team this is the claw, close up
- Guest Let's see the mite!
Bugscope Team ask llama to click on the mite preset
- Guest it looks like a crab
- Bugscope Team Jeffrey we did not find any mites this time.
- Bugscope Team this is a pollen grain
- Bugscope Team my fault, scot is right, no mite in the presets
- Guest more like a turtle now
- Bugscope Team we were hoping to see mites, but we didnt find any
- Guest brain
- Guest Coral.
- Bugscope Team we have a bee that was s'posed to have varroa mites, which are very large, but ...nothin'
- Guest ZIPPER!!!!
- Guest oh dear. no mites. what a disaster.
- Guest i already am crying
- Guest I'm sorry.
- Bugscope Team keep driving the scope llama, you are doing a good job of it
- Guest what do you peeps want to see
- Bugscope Team the hamuli do function like a zipper, in a way
- Guest llamas are laaam
- Guest Lame. With an E. And you're wrong.
- Bugscope Team try focus here
- Guest waaay to go
- Guest quite
- Bugscope Team they allow the fore- and hindwings on each side to function as one wing
- Bugscope Team take the mag down, see where you are...
- Bugscope Team there you go
- 11:42am
- Teacher We are thinking it would be great to allow each of the kids to select an image that we could frame and send home with them. What's the best way to go about doing that?
Bugscope Team jimb, all the chat and images are saved to your bugscope member page: http://bugscope.beckman.uiuc.edu/members/2008-051
- Bugscope Team looks like the preset drifted, you can always zoom out to get a better look, like scott says
- Bugscope Team you could grab any image you want from there, and download it and do anything you like with it. that member page will stay up as long as bugscope exists
- Guest how far can we zoom in on those mold spores. Preset #5?
Bugscope Team The microscope can magnify up to the range of 800,000x although that is under perfect sample conditions. In the current configuration you probably don't see anything more past 50-100,000x
- Guest what is that
- Bugscope Team these are mold spores
- Bugscope Team these are mold spores
- Bugscope Team OOF=out of focus
- Guest we all love mold spores!
- Bugscope Team you can see that once we get close the electron beam can affect them -- sort of blow them around
- Guest Oh yes we do.
- Guest they look like raisins
Bugscope Team like raisins, bugs and things on bugs usually dry up when they die and are put into the scope, thus the raisin-like look
- Bugscope Team they often, as now, deflate when they start to dry out
- Bugscope Team setae on another eye
- Guest why are they different?
- Guest What are the spikes?
- Guest do drones not need to see the same way?
Bugscope Team the main function of the drone is to stand ready to fertilize a receptive queen, so maybe they need less vision, however their eyes are twice as large as the workers... odd huh?
- Guest their like teepees
Bugscope Team that's what i thought
- Guest they're spikes
- Guest We all love raisins too!
- 11:47am
- Bugscope Team they are like the other setae but covered with a film of dried liquid
- Guest they look like that arch thing in St. Louis
- Guest yes they do
- Bugscope Team Saarinen
- Guest not
- Guest no no they do not look like the arch serena!
- Guest do too K
- Bugscope Team let's give jeffrey control
- Guest Talking to yourselves?
- Bugscope Team Jeffrey you can drive if you like
- Bugscope Team Eero Saarinen
- Guest we are of one tech-y body but conflicting minds
- Guest beautiful.
- Guest fantabulous
- Guest nooooooo
- Guest Bonzer.
- Guest yes!
- Guest bonzeriffical
- Guest Do you know what that means, Agent K?
- Guest fierce
- Guest noooooooooooo
- Guest You didn't read my email.

- Guest Do you hear me?
- Guest noooooooooooooooo
- Guest I told Serena.
- Guest It appears she does not hear our pleas
- Guest llama
- Guest who's that?
- Guest What an insignificant sort. .___.
- Guest Looks kinda like a cheese grater.
- Guest Our cries do not reach her selective hearing
- Guest nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

- Guest nice.
- Bugscope Team nice image
- Guest focusing this is a bit of a headache.
Bugscope Team we've made the controls much the same as the ESEM, so it is very true to the real thing
- Guest now it looks like a spiky walnut opening up...
- Guest IT'S ARMAGEDDON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- Guest It's highlighted.
- Guest NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
- Guest yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
- Guest It has something against you, Agent K.
- Bugscope Team Jeffrey you did a good job.
- Guest It's because you don't know what 'bonzer' means.
- Guest true

- Guest false
- Guest what is this?

- Guest Quatch
- Guest Kvcachiness!
- Guest Quatch
- Guest I think not.
- Guest Quatsch.
- Guest THAT WAS k
- Guest K
- Guest Quatsch
- Guest Squash
- Bugscope Team the tongue (glossa) is wrinkled because it is dry -- it's not perfectly preserved from life
- Guest NONSENSICAL
- Guest ALUMINUM FOIL
- Guest Or tin.
- Guest you're nonsensical. nooooooooooooooooooooo
- Guest t hat was K
