Silver Nitrate 3 %
Silver nitrate 3% in the liquid solution acts due to the presence of silver ions, which reduce into elemental silver upon contact with organic material or metals. This chemical reaction, a redox reaction, occurs especially in histological and medical impregnation processes, as the silver ions interact with the reducing agents present in the cells.
In metallography, the reaction of the silver nitrate with the metal surface leads to the formation of complex silver compounds. These etching processes cause localized corrosion on the metal surface, thereby revealing the microscopic structures of the material.
In both cases, silver deposits are formed, and their specific coloration allows visualization of fine structures. It is important to understand that the chemical and physical processes initiated by the use of silver nitrate 3% are crucial for medical and histological diagnostics as well as for metallographic examinations.
