Bugscope
Bugscope is a new educational outreach project of the World Wide  Laboratory. The primary goal of the Bugscope project is to demonstrate that relatively low cost, sustainable access to a scanning electron microscope can be made available to K-12 classrooms. Participating classrooms will have the opportunity to control a  Environmental Scanning Electron Microscope to image insects at high magnification. Students and teachers control the microscope using web browsers from their classroom computers. The microscope is located at the Beckman Institute at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
