With funding from the National Science Foundation, Illinois Consolidated Telephone Company, and others, the University of Illinois's Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology launched Bugscope, where students around the country capture insect specimens, send them to the university, and then, through the Internet, control the university's $ 600,000
environmental scanning electron microscope (ESEM) for a two - hour period to view their insects.
The project also used the expertise of staff and several advanced instruments —
environmental transmission and scanning electron microscopes, an X-ray photoelectron spectrometer and a Mössbauer spectrometer — at EMSL, the Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory, a DOE Office of Science User Faci
