• 6:08pm
• Bugscope Team it's me matt how did you do it

• Bugscope Team we stick insects onto an aluminum disk that is covered with double stick carbon tape. then we coat the insects with gold/palladium to make them conductive for the electrons and stick the disk with the insects into a chamber of the microscope and bring it to vacuum and shoot electrons at it

• Bugscope Team the praying mantis looks like it got into a fight with a moth/butterfly since it has scales all over it

• Bugscope Team thank you

• Bugscope Team The eyes on the top of the head are for navagation, like a built in GPS

• 6:13pm

  Bugscope Team we are at the centipede mouth

• Bugscope Team this preset moved
• Bugscope Team which sometimes happens

• Bugscope Team this is just showing the claws on the centipede, which are just a single sharp point, instead of what insects have, which is two parts that come together to hold onto things
• 6:50pm

• Bugscope Team the part that has thin strips to the right is a spiracle, which is a breathing hole for insects

• Bugscope Team hereis a beetle mouth, from the underside of the head
