Influence of dewetting on the crystallization behavior of CuCl₂ in the presence of BSA during evaporation in a Petri dish

The overall structure of dihydrate cupric chloride (CuCl2 * 2H2O) crystallization patterns in the presence of bovine serum albumin (BSA) in a Petri dish is influenced by dewetting. The dewetting behavior, which can be either before or after initial CuCl2 nucleation, depends on the amount of CuCl₂ an...
