I don’t know if many people are aware of this cool little feature of OS X but I have just found it.

You can  zoom in anywhere on your desktop by holding down the “ctrl” key and scrolling your mouse wheel.

I think this must be a default feature because I have not turned it on myself. You can find it in the system preferences under keyboard & mouse. Click on the mouse tab and it is right at the bottom.

You can change which key you use on the keyboard but it defaults to the ctrl one.

Also while you are “zoomed in”, moving your mouse around moves the desktop around.
