Photographic chemical uncovering magic (6,6)

S _ L _ E _ / _ O _ I _ E

I assume it is Silver Iodide (photographic chemical) ...but why ?

[vetuste_ennemi]

I could believe that [m]Ag+I[c]= Silver Iodiquote[n]e.

But it doesn't work as an answer, does it?

[vetuste_ennemi]

Silver+ Iodine.

God knows where this "quote" stuff comes from.

[vetuste_ennemi]

(It is the Grauniad, isn't it?)

[1ozzy]

It works perfectly VE.

Uncovering {M} agi {C}

[vetuste_ennemi]

But I think the answer is iodiDe rather than iodiNe, Ozzy.

[1ozzy]

A search on "AGI chemical compound" results in Silver Iodide.

[vetuste_ennemi]

So the Ag+I doesn't parse scrutiny.

[vetuste_ennemi]

Apologies, Ozzy. The compound is referred to in Google as AGI.

(lapses into Marvin mode.... the first five million years were the worst...after that the next... followed by a slow decline)

[1ozzy]

All is forgiven, travel well ;-)

Thank you both - sorry for the delay in replying - just had the blue screen of death on my laptop and had to take it in. This is a temporary replacement. Thanks again
