The Bugscope project is an exciting opportunity for classrooms to remotely
operate a scanning electron microscope to view their chosen specimens! The

over the Internet using a web browser. Check out their photo archive for some
fascinating images of insect structures up close. The Bugscope project is an
educational outreach program for K–12 classrooms.
