Hello. I am trying to identify E. coli in water after a smear and a simple stain with crystal violet. I am using the 140X magnification lens plus 2X zoom from a mobile device, but the images obtained do not provide a clear visualization of E. coli cells. I attached two images of E. coli pure culture as examples. Do you have any recommendations to improve the identification method or the quality of the images?


 Thanks!
