Insects To Study	grasshopper
Project Description	I am not sure about a date, I entered 12/12/11 because it would not let me proceed. We will be studying body systems, organ systems and habitats. I would like to use the insects and compare their body and organ systems to human body and organ systems. As soon as I know a firm date I will check back. I really wanted to just look at the site for now. Thanks.

Where did you hear about Bugscope?

Found through a web search

Bugscope Team Hi Sammy!
Bugscope Team Where are you from?
Bugscope Team Hi Jenny!
Guest Hi SJ! I'm from New Jersey.
Bugscope Team totally cool
Guest Hi!
Bugscope Team Welcome to Bugscope!
Guest Thanks-looks amazing
Bugscope Team We're running a session with a school in Mississippi at 1 our time, 2 your time.
Bugscope Team this is a spider, and you can see where the fangs curve into the chelicers, which are big mandibles on the front of the head.
Guest Cool. We are actually in an education class right now checking out resources.

Bugscope Team those sharp tooth-like things help the spider hold its prey as it bites it and injects venom'
Bugscope Team so chat looks like this for the class, and they can choose from among the presets on the lefthand screen
Bugscope Team they can drive the microscope as well
Guest Wow! This is awesome!
Bugscope Team Sammy I just gave you control if you want to try driving
12:42pm
Bugscope Team you should be able to select (click on) one of the presets, and the microscope will drive to that stored position.
Guest How do they drive the scope?
Bugscope Team they can click just above the image we see now, and they have the ability to change the mag, change the focus up or down, and change contrast and brightness
Bugscope Team also, clicking on the screen itself centers whichever feature the cursor is on
Bugscope Team Hi Vincent!
Bugscope Team Jenny I just gave you control.

Guest ok
Bugscope Team so you (Jenny) should be able to click the left arrow to see what presets are available, and click on the one you want the 'scope to drive to
Bugscope Team is it not working for you?

Guest There is a control pending
Bugscope Team ugh things are going very slowly with the control computer -- a problem that seems to have cropped up today

Bugscope Team I just took the controller offline and then back online, but obviously there's a glitch.
12:47pm

Guest Ok-thanks for trying
Bugscope Team I'm going to go to the 'scope itself so you can see how it works, to some extent
Guest Thanks! That would be great.
Bugscope Team that is the head of a yellowjacket wasp
Bugscope Team this is its tongue, called a glossa in a bee
Bugscope Team this is a scale from another insect, like a moth or butterfly, on the yellowjacket
Bugscope Team can you see alright?
Guest Yes! We can see everything perfectly.
Bugscope Team cool
Bugscope Team This is the yellowjacket
Bugscope Team the antenna, and you can see the placoid sensillae as well as lots of setae

Bugscope Team likely because I had to have my sysadmin reboot this computer, I have a glitch in which when you click on a preset it centers on the stub.
Bugscope Team this is a moth's head
Bugscope Team another moth...

Bugscope Team okay problem is fixed now, but I had to ditch all of the other presets
Bugscope Team please let me know when you have questions
Guest Thank you -class is looking now
