Version 1.0 of this model has been trained using thousands of pictures taken by Ryan Hennessy Wastewater MIcrobiology from a wide range of municipal and industrial wastewater treatment systems throughout predominantly the United States and Canada. The model has been trained for a high variety of microbe types and conditions which include the following list and recommended magnifications for optimal usage:
| Microbe Type or Condition | Recommended Photo Options |
|---|---|
| Actinomycetes_Mycolata (includes Nocardioforms) | 1000x phase contrast oil immersion, Gram stain 1000x |
| Anaerobic sulfur bacteria | 1000x phase contrast oil immersion |
| Anaerobic filament morphotype B | 1000x phase contrast oil immersion |
| Beggiatoa | 1000x phase contrast oil immersion or 400x phase contrast |
| Bristleworm | 100x or 200x phase contrast or brightfield |
| Crustacean | 4x, 100x, or 200x phase contrast or brightfield |
| Dead filament | 1000x phase contrast oil immersion |
| Dispersed growth high | 100x or 200x phase contrast |
