Figure 3. Exhibit screens at 10x
Details of the setup can be found in Appendix A. METHOD
Cued Interviews Visitors were recruited from the Life Sciences Area on the Mezzanine of the Exploratorium Before each interview, the evaluator made sure that there was nothing in view on the monitor. Visitors were asked to look at a special kind of Zebrafish that glows under UV light. The evaluator also told visitors that they could control the microscope: move the stage, focus, turn on and off the UV light, and zoom in and out. Then, visitors were asked to use the microscope controls to look at the Zebrafish. Each visitor group was then asked a series of questions about what they saw under normal and UV light and under lower and higher magnification. These questions are in Appendix A.

Did visitors find the GFP Zebrafish more interesting to look under UV or under normal light at 10x magnification? More visitors preferred the UV light at 10x magnification. GFP Zebrafish is MORE interesting under (at 10x) Normal light UV light UV and Normal are about the SAME Count (out of 20) 6
Did visitors find the GFP Zebrafish more interesting to look under UV light at 5x or at 10x magnification? More visitors preferred using the UV light at 10x as opposed to 5x magnification. GFP Zebrafish is MORE interesting at (under UV light) 5x magnification 10x magnification 5x and 10x are about the SAME Count (out of 20) 2
Visitors explained that the Zebrafish is more interesting to look at with 5x under UV light because
You see more at once (4 visitors)
Visitor1: [at 10x] you have to keep moving around to look at it. But you can see lots of tissues, and things moving around. Its easier to see under with the other one [5x] Visitor9: you can see the whole thing. Visitor14: I like being able to see the whole thing [embryo]. Visitor15: the 5 would be the best. so you can see the whole thing.
Its hard to tell what youre looking at (2 visitors)
Visitor9: when you're zoomed in, it's hard to tell what you're looking at. Visitor19: when you're so close up, you can't necessarily tell what you're looking at.
Its clearer (2 visitors) 6
Visitor15: under the 10, everything blends together more. 5 is a little more sharp. Visitor18: like I said, it's harder to see things clearly when it's zoomed in. the fish moves around too much.

Visitors explained that the Zebrafish is more interesting to look at with 10x under UV light because
You see more details (8 visitors)
Visitor2: just seeing more details Visitor4: [normal and UV] they just show different things. Both good to have. More contrast in UV, but you don't see the egg. [10x] You see a lot more with the higher mag. a lot of details. Visitor7: you can see a lot more things. I like seeing details. Visitor10: much more detailed. Visitor12: [5x] this, you see details, but zoomed in you see more, you can really see it. Visitor13: the heart is really cool; you see it beating very well. Visitor16: you can see all the heart thing, the tail. Visitor20: it gives you the most details.
Its shows things better (2 visitors)
Visitor11: I think you can see better. The depths and everything. Visitor17: [UV 5 vs. 10] you just see it a lot clearer with 10. With 5, it's still really nice, but it's more just a blurry green glow.

[No explanation]

Visitor6: once you get the image clear, it looks amazing. Like I said though, it's harder to use when you're zoomed in. Visitor8: I like it better zoomed in, but they are both neat.
Questions Visitors were asked if they had any questions about what they saw under UV light. They asked about The light and the glowing
Visitor3: why does it glow? How do you get them to glow? Visitor4: how come the egg [sac] disappears under UV light? Does the UV light cause them to move around more?
Visitor6: do they naturally glow like that? Does that affect the fish? Like do they live as long? Visitor9: why is it green? What makes it glow? So it's the gene huh? Interesting. Visitor12: what's the purpose of the UV light? Why would you use it? Why would it be green, when UV is normally violet, purple or pink? Does the UV light harm them? Do these fish live? Will they hatch? Visitor15: Just if it will glow after it hatch, if you can see them swimming around and glowing. Visitor17: do all Zebrafish glow in the dark like this? Or did you do something to make them glow? Visitor19: what makes them glow like that, is it just the light you're using? Do they automatically glow like some tropical fish? Visitor20: are these the same as those worms over there, I mean, do they glow for the same reason, with the special gene or something [yes]

Parts they see

Visitor5: [at 5x] no. I assume. what is that? [heart] the blood flowing. Visitor7: [at 5x] what was that big thing [yolk] Visitor10: [at 5x] is that the spine? Visitor16: [at 5x] what's that? [heart] that's neat

The fish

Visitor7: do they hatch in here? Where do you get these fishes? Visitor14: are Zebrafish the ones where there was a controversy. Whether you should be able to buy these fishes for pets?

SUMMARY

There was no clear preference for UV light over normal light when viewing the GFP Zebrafish at 5x. However, visitors seem to prefer the UV light to normal light at the higher, 10x, magnification. The reasons visitors gave for this preference suggest that some visitors wanted to look at the whole Zebrafish embryo before they zoomed in on details. Once they had zoomed in that the UV light gave more definition to what they saw. This suggests that the activities we design should introduce UV light at higher magnification when visitors have already looked at the Zebrafish under normal light at 5x. UV light may be useful to visitors in pointing out details, which may be difficult to see under normal light. This also indicates that just having the specimen glow is not enough of a wow in and of itself. Instead, switching to UV light needs to be embedded in a motivating activity context.

The results also indicate that most visitors notice the heart. As we begin to design the storylines and interpretations for the GFP Zebrafish, we may wish to use this as a lead-in to encouraging visitors to make more detailed observations and making connections to the specimens biomedical relevance. Finally, a list of questions visitors have is included in this report. These questions may be useful in designing the content information that will accompany this specimen.

APPENDIX B: Questions Were trying out a new specimen at the microscope exhibit there [point]. Would you be willing to look at it with me and give me some feedback on it? Your feedback will help us improve the exhibit. This will take about 10 minutes. Is that okay? I would like you to look at something. These are zebrafish. They're a special kind of zebrafish. They're special because they glow under UV, or ultraviolet light. So, you're looking at them now under normal light. I would like you to use the exhibit to look at the zebrafish. You can move the slide with this joystick and focus the microscope with this knob. You can also change the magnification and the light with these buttons on this monitor.
1. What, if anything, do you find interesting to look at when the zebrafish is under normal light at this magnification (5x)? 2. What, if anything, do you find interesting to look at when the zebrafish is under UV light at this magnification (5x) ? 3. Do you have any questions about what you see (under UV)? 4. [For 5x] Is the zebrafish more interesting to look at under UV light or under normal light? Or, is it about the same under the two kinds of light. UV LIGHT NORMAL LIGHT SAME
5. [if NOT SAME for Q3] Can you tell me why you found the xxx light more interesting? 6. What, if anything, do you find interesting to look at when the zebrafish is under normal light at this magnification (10x) ? 7. What, if anything, do you find interesting to look at when the zebrafish is under UV light at this magnification (10x) ? 8. Do you have any questions about what you see? 9. [For 10x] Is the zebrafish more interesting to look at under UV light or under normal light? Or, is it about the same under the two kinds of light. 13

1 Intel HT Technology (HT) is designed to improve performance of multi-threaded software products and requires a computer system with a processor supporting HT and an HT-enabled chipset, BIOS, and operating system. Please contact your software provider to determine compatibility. Not all customers or software applications will benefit from the use of HT. See http://www.intel.com/info/hyperthreading for more information. 2 Enabling Intel Turbo Boost Technology (Intel TBT) requires a PC with a processor with Intel TBT capability. Intel TBT performance varies depending on hardware, software, and overall system configuration. For more information, see www.intel.com/technology/turboboost. 3 HP Z200 dimensions = 450 mm x 178 mm x 456 mm (HWD). HP Z200 SFF dimensions = 338 mm x 100 mm x 378 mm (HWD), so the HP Z200 SFF is 65% smaller. 4 Dual-, Quad-, and Six-Core technologies are designed to improve performance of multithreaded software products and hardware-aware multitasking operating systems and may require appropriate operating system software for full benefits; not all customers or software applications will necessarily benefit from use of these technologies. 5 Testing was not intended to demonstrate fitness for DOD contracts requirements or for military use. Test results are not a guarantee of future performance under these test conditions. 6 Intels numbering is not a measurement of higher performance. 7 64-bit computing on Intel architecture requires a computer system with a processor, chipset, BIOS, operating system, device drivers and applications enabled for Intel 64 architecture. Processors will not operate (including 32-bit operation) without an Intel 64 architecture-enabled BIOS. Performance will vary depending on your hardware and software configurations. See http://www.intel.com/info/em64t for more information. 8 Each processor supports up to 2 channels (HP Z200/HP Z200 SFF) or 3 channels (HP Z400/HP Z600/HP Z800) of DDR3 memory. To realize full performance at least 1 DIMM must be inserted into each channel. To get full 6 channel support, 2 processors MUST be installed. 9 For hard drives, 1 GB = 1 billion bytes. 1 TB = 1 trillion bytes. Actual formatted capacity is less. Up to 8 GB of hard drive (or system disk) is reserved for the system recovery software for Windows XP and XP Pro and up to 20 GB for Windows 7. 10 Actual speeds may vary. Does not permit copying of commercially available DVD movies or other copyright protected materials. Intended for creation and storage of your original material and other lawful uses. 11 Weight varies by configuration.
