Visisted Florida Aquarium at Tampa Florida. They have a horseshoe crab exhibit to view and touch as instructed. I was blessed to be there with a great employee who shared a small clear box, about 1 inch square all around and the top of the box had a round magnifier built in. By the eye, it looked like small dots floating in water or just on bottom of container. Going through the magnified viewer it was facinating to see actual teeny tiny horseshoe crabe with so much in tact. the eggs also are almost invisible to the eye. So, it was the first I'd tried to use a magnifier plus the zoom on my camera. Using the two together, I was very glad to have the pic turn out as well as it did. I am one that enjoys photography, I like science, nature, etc. so this was a great find for my day! Taken September 2014. I hope you enjoy. I have one more photo that turned out that I will post also.
