Fantastic Ole' Bob! I wonder - is there any chance of us getting to see a TEM on this? I'd really be interested to see how the particles "size out".
I remain heartily unconvinced that such a turbid solution contains the "smallest" particles, but I'm certainly willing to be proven wrong. Perhaps now we may get an opportunity to start to see the efficacy of ionic vs. particle silver? I'm certainly not qualified to make any real educated guesses on the process. However, ultimately, it's the end results that are going to count! ----- Original Message ----- From: Robert L.
