8:16am
Bugscope Team hello!

Teacher howdy
Teacher i'm enjoying watching the set up

Teacher you all must enjoy this portion of your work

Bugscope Team yeah it is fun

Bugscope Team Alright Lawrence you have control.
8:21am
Teacher thank you
Teacher let me know if I start doing something wrong or irregular
Teacher my initial concern is looking at closeups of each layer on the slices A-C

Teacher How do i navigate to the first preset location?
Bugscope Team so you can go directly to the particular areas you want by clicking on the preset
Bugscope Team for that area
Teacher i clicked on it, and it said "you're probably at the max or min of that control"

Bugscope Team it does that for us as well that is weird

8:26am

Bugscope Team okay we remade the first preset, which is where we are anyway
Bugscope Team this is x-section A

Bugscope Team x-section B is to the south
Bugscope Team but we can drive you there

Bugscope Team if you want

Bugscope Team this is the carbon tape
Teacher sure
Bugscope Team this is x-section B

Teacher ok, i'm attempting to center the image on a portion in the top layer

Bugscope Team looks like you have it
Bugscope Team now if you want you can take the mag up

8:31am

Bugscope Team OOF
Bugscope Team now you can see that you will need to focus
Bugscope Team OOF is just scott slang for out of focus
Bugscope Team if it gets worse drive the other way
Teacher i may or may not be focusing the wrong way
Bugscope Team you''re getting it now for sure
Bugscope Team awesome
Teacher there's quite the lag time
Bugscope Team there you go
Teacher i'm wondering how magified i can get and what level of the structure of the vinyl i can see
Bugscope Team LT you can let us focus if you want, but this is something you can get good at
Bugscope Team okay
Teacher can you guys take me in as far as possible and then focus it on this layer of the vinyl?
8:36am
Teacher i would like to compare this portion of B and C
Bugscope Team this is 60,000x
Bugscope Team not much to see beyond this
Teacher dont think my image has updated yet
Bugscope Team if it is black you can hit the refresh button for yourbrowser
Teacher very nice!
Teacher can we back out in increments of, say 5000?
Bugscope Team and then we will go to B
Teacher yes
Bugscope Team this is 50,000x
Teacher okay
Bugscope Team this is 35.000x
Teacher ready
Bugscope Team this is 25,000x
Bugscope Team are you seeing the changes?
Teacher there's a lag
Bugscope Team you can also see where we toasted the sample a bit
Teacher yes
Bugscope Team now 20,000x
Bugscope Team an adjacent area at 20,000x
8:41am
Teacher this is great
Bugscope Team 15,000x
Bugscope Team I am moving laterally as I go down to avoid toasted areas
Teacher and just to confirm, this is all sample A?
Bugscope Team let's check
Bugscope Team that was all B -- Cate figured it out for us
Bugscope Team this is A
Teacher what are we looking at now?
Teacher Okay
Bugscope Team x-section a is where we are
Bugscope Team this is the upper portion of A for sure at 20,000x
Teacher Can we zoom in to 60 in a brighter spot, and move backward?
Bugscope Team grazie tante Cate
Bugscope Team this is 65,000x
Teacher hope you guys dont mind navigating, but i think we'll get more done faster with you guys at the helm
Bugscope Team the vinyl gets beat up by the electron beam at this mag
8:46am
Bugscope Team 50,000x A
Bugscope Team 35,000x A
Bugscope Team 25,000x so lovely
Teacher that does look nice
Bugscope Team this is 15,000x A
Teacher great
Bugscope Team this is 500x where we have been cruising around
Teacher can we move to a similar location on C
Bugscope Team okay
Bugscope Team A
Bugscope Team B
Bugscope Team C; this probably dates back to The Graduate
8:52am
Bugscope Team we see more compression from cutting the sample as well, I think
Teacher think i can see that
Bugscope Team sample is kind of rolled from prep
Bugscope Team 65,000x C
Bugscope Team 50,000x C
Bugscope Team 35,000x C
Bugscope Team 25,000x C
Bugscope Team the images all have micron markers on them
Bugscope Team lower left
Teacher okay, i see that
Bugscope Team this is 5 anthrax bacteria across
Teacher interesting
Bugscope Team now 20,000x C
Bugscope Team 12,000x C
Bugscope Team 3500x C
Teacher can we move up slightly
Bugscope Team 500x for perspective
Teacher location-wise

Bugscope Team okay?
8:57am
Teacher can we go back in to about 35000?
Bugscope Team there, 35,000x after a brief 140,000x stop for focus
Teacher looks great
Teacher Ready for sample D
Bugscope Team 35,000x C; this is very close to the top
Bugscope Team cool
Bugscope Team D is south
Bugscope Team top left bottom right x section out of the image
Bugscope Team (this is D)
Bugscope Team Lawrence do you want the x-section of this?
Bugscope Team silver paint in the middle, top, of image now
Teacher i would like preset number 3, i think
Teacher looks good
Teacher can we go in as far as possible
Bugscope Team okay this is top view of D at 203x
9:03am
Bugscope Team this is 65,000x. Above this we do a lot of damage to the sample.
Teacher okay
Teacher can we start backing out by increments of 10k
Bugscope Team close as we can -- this is D 50,000x
Bugscope Team this now is D 40,000x
Teacher bit of lag
Bugscope Team this is D 35,000x
Bugscope Team D 25,000x
Teacher looks good
Bugscope Team Lawrence I think when you look through the transcript with images later you will be able to coordinate.
Bugscope Team D 20,000x
Teacher how comprehensive will the transcript be?
Bugscope Team D 12,000x

Bugscope Team 10,000x
Bugscope Team no we have been moving to the west a little
Teacher all right
Bugscope Team as we changed mag so we would not be exposing toasted areas
Bugscope Team okay now to F?
Teacher sounds good
Bugscope Team driving north...
Teacher i'd like to get along side one of the cracks, and inside one of the cracks
Bugscope Team okay this is F, Grand Canyon

9:31am
Bugscope Team 3500x
Bugscope Team a stray fiber
Bugscope Team 1500x shows up where we were
Teacher still lagging a bit
Teacher let's move south, just a tad to the surface

Teacher okay, lets move in on this section
Bugscope Team okay this is the surface, south, rolling into the crack, north

Bugscope Team 4000x on the surface rolling into the crack
Bugscope Team 8000x
Bugscope Team with us?

Teacher lagging
Bugscope Team cool; here the micron bar reads 862 nm
Bugscope Team it should be about 2 microns long here
Teacher few anthrax could call this home
Bugscope Team this is 15,000x
Teacher looks good
Bugscope Team yeah. funny that we did see a bacillus
Teacher is that what the pill shaped bacteria was?
Bugscope Team yes
9:42am
Teacher what are we seeing here?
Teacher what were all those crystalline forms a second ago?
Bugscope Team this is deeper within the crack but may just be a surface feature that dropped in and got juju on it from the decaying vinyl
Bugscope Team above is one crystalline form
Bugscope Team sort of -- it's a rod
Teacher can we zoom to that view of all of them?
Teacher yes, here
Bugscope Team this is where we just were
Bugscope Team cool
Teacher so this is inside the crack?
Bugscope Team this is inside the crack but may be a surface feature that what do call it subsided?
Bugscope Team like it busted loose and dropped down
Teacher any chance of it being salt?
Teacher or something similar?
9:47am
Bugscope Team excellent command of English on my part
Bugscope Team some of the crystalline shapes resemble salts
Bugscope Team but hard to tell
Teacher i wasn't going to say anything..... i'm looking for things that may have causes this degrading in the vinyl
Teacher any trace evidence
Bugscope Team not UV?
Bugscope Team is this like polyvinyl chloride?
Bugscope Team maybe Armorall.
Teacher yes
Bugscope Team that is not good for vinyl
Teacher we're thinking maybe citrus based cleaners
Bugscope Team ha that is interesting
Teacher why?
Bugscope Team an experiment!
Teacher sorry, i'm not double typing, i think the lag is doing that
Bugscope Team well they're sort of new to the market
Teacher citrus cleaners are?
Bugscope Team we don't see the double typing and presumably you don't see ours
Teacher can we look at the back sides of D e and F before the session ends?
Bugscope Team well yes I was thinking that is the new Green thing
Bugscope Team you bet
Teacher have you guys ever looked at citrus cleaner traces under the microscope?
9:53am
Bugscope Team no. this is the backside of F
Teacher what mag?
Bugscope Team um sorry, and I just took it down to 120x
