Abstract
We report direct visual evidence for the association of particles in stable magnetic fluids in zero magnetic field, observed with cryo-transmission el ectron microscopy. The rather isotropic shape of the reversible associates indicates that isotropic (van der Waals) attraction is at least partly resp onsible for the particle association.
