So say for example you have some silver snowflakes growing on the bottom of your finished jar of EIS. What actually entices silver ions in that solution to give up an electron and become metallic, stuck to the rest of the snowflake.
How might this apply in vivo also. I recall Marshall's write up suggested that particles provide sites of "nucleation" (which I guess just means places for plateout to start?), and silver chloride plateouts out on them. And it does not matter that the particles are not metallic silver as in the case of the snowflake? David
