Hi Marshall, Not that it is of any great importance, but it is a fact that the AMG process grew out of, and in tandem with photographic chemistry, first applications being used in 1911. Silver grain growth can be stimulated by metallic specs other than silver and in this case is not really related to the alloying of silver and mercury.
The presence of silver ions (supplied by silver colloid or silver compound) and the reducing ions is analogous to photographic development. Both photography and AMG start with silver ions and end with metallic silver.
