Yup...anyone can give me some idea on where to get a magnifying glass with higher magnification ?
I have no idea which shop do sell them. The ones we see here usually are quite useless...
Howbout those used by jewellers ?
Since i need to operate on my trinitatis with forceps on both hands :?

operate? What are you planning to do? Remove it's appendix?
Try hobby shops, stores for minerals/ fossills are the easiest one: ask the jeweler!

which species are we talking about here? I helped a B.jacksoni out of her jacket once without the use of a mag-glass, is it really that small?
Have you tried 'impregnating' the exuvia with small drops of water diluted with glycerin? Be carefull not to rip off the aculeus!
