A few SEM shots.My girlfriend's taking a scanning electron microscope class for her graduate studies so she took some pics of the regalis eggsac. This is the inside of it. Those aren't the eggs, they're something else...

Do we know what they are Kyle? What about the fiber-looking things? Is that the silk mat?

Hmmm... they could be spores. Although, I don't know what they would look like.
She said she sputter coated it with gold and platinum

could it be balls from the sputter coating? i don't know how they do it, but maybe if she is still a tyro she could mess it up and make balls like that?
hmm, i am just perusing googles of "sem mold spores" and none look that featureless. but then, i am not checking scale or anything so it doesn't completely rule it out
some fungal spore sem shots look a leeetle bit closer

She said its possible it could be from the coating, but this is at a really low magnification (a few thousand x) and the beads were only in one area.
