EHEC bacteria and electronic microscope

Low-temperature electron micrograph of a cluster of E. coli bacteria, magnified 10,000 times. Each individual bacterium is a rounded cylinder. Can we see the EHEC bacteria under USB digital microscope? No, you can't, as the USB digital microscope has at most 500X magnification  .

EHEC bacteria can be seen by human eyes about 1000 times magnification
