" In spite of the possibility that the images might be artifacts of the sample preparation process, the consistent change in frozen morphology with agitation and with changes in water chemistry was compelling evidence that, in any case, the images might be related to the actual clay structure, even if they are not actual representations" (see Ref. [31] p. 32).
