Hello,
This refers to spots where crystals (inorganic) are grown. I realize that the biological equivalent is "aperture" in many dictionaries, but that's not what I'm after.
Example: Die Körner waren nicht geimpft, d.h. ohne Keime ausgebildet - die Keimstellen waren nicht vorhanden.
Thanks in advance!

If my memory serves me correctly.
The reference below is to a seed crystal.

embryo / nucleus / seed
"At the microscopic level, the first stage of the phase transition liquid-to-solid (crystallization) is the "nucleation" stage. In this stage, the random motions of the atoms or molecules apparently create a local situation atypical of the average properties of the substance. Such locally atypical regions, initially merely a few atoms in size, are known as nuclei, embryos, or seeds."
