Marine plankton: portrait of a zoea natantia larvae

I think it is a 7x, with a Nikon BD plan 10x. Insects come from Crustacea, and the latter have already marvelous compound eyes that their descendants inherited.

Thank you Rik, I couldn't fix it from my cellular phone, and I won't have access to my computer in a few days. What ideal size should have I posted them?

The Miryanida polychaete are a group of very curious sea worms with a surprising way of reproduction: juveniles living on the bottom become male or female "stolons" through an extraordinary form of asexual budding. Stolons are active swimmers and leave the bottom to enter the water column where repr...

Thank you. very much for your answer Rik, I know now what to do then.
