Yes, just explaining how & why that works, BTW i used to have my own darkroom as a 12 year old, (66 now), light affects film because it is/was formed from silver nitrate, where the light hit, turned black/grey when processed, unexposed portions were removed in the developer. We then end up with the negative. We use this to reverse the process on silver nitrate coted paper, (2 x negative = positive) so, if the colloid is clear, it seems to indicate no light/impurity interaction (maybe the water used was purer than normal) ??

BTW, the beam of light in 3-D is due to the Tyndall Effect.

The fact that there is no black residue would to me indicate a cleaner, less oxidised process, the fact we see the laser beam is because of refraction & reflection of the beam off of the silver, the wideer or more visible the beam, the higher the particle density and probably smaller particle size (which would also effect the wavelength, and there by colour you see, or don't see refracted in the colloid. If i am wrong please someone put me right. Open to ideas.

How long is it taking to run a 10 PPM batch?

Hi, Lately I've noticed that when I clean my rods with a paper towel nothing comes off of them. Also no black speckles in the eis and no light yellow color. Laser shows a wider line and can almost see speckles in the line... not the nice tight line I used to get from my silver puppy.

Any ideas how to get things back to normal?
Thanks.
