- Bugscope Team you
- Bugscope Team are driving a $600,000 scanning electron microscope
- Bugscope Team in the basement of the Beckman Institute at the U of Illinois, in the serious middle of nowhere
- Bugscope Team when we use the microscope for Bugscope we work at a longer distance from the sample than we would for normal research
- Bugscope Team that is so we have the ability to take the mag fairly low as well as high -- so the students can see more of the sample at one time at low mag
- Guest How long are the sessions? One hour?
Bugscope Team sometimes there will be three classes at 20 minutes, each, sometimes one for 45 min or so
- Guest How many people work on this project?
