A Study of the Structural Organization of Water and Aqueous Solutions by Means of Optical Microscopy
Journal: Crystals
Year: 2019

The structural organization of water and aqueous solutions under an optical microscope in a layer with a thickness of 8 μm was investigated. It is shown that under room conditions water (including “ultrapure” water) and aqueous solutions are microdispersed systems. The revealed effect does not depend on the properties of the substrate (texture, hydrophilicity/hydrophobicity) and is an inherent property of the liquid. The disperse phase is based on contrasting micron-sized formations located in t
