Fine grain structure.
Finer grained slow films are able to resolve more detail than faster, coarse grained films. Grain in itself is not something to be feared.

Fine grain
Film or developer that produces images in which areas of uniform tone appear smooth, with no clumping of the silver particles that form the image.
Use a fine grain, sharp film. ISO 50's and 100s are great for slide films. For print films ISO 100s and 200s are good choices. Experiment with different types of films and pick the one you like best.

any fine grain particles light enough to be suspended in air.

the release of filler particles or other fine materials from the surface of paper.
ISO 25-100-Very fine grained and low contrast.
ISO 100-400-Fine to Medium grain and higher contrast.
ISO 400-3200-Heavy grain and considerable contrast.

Very fine grain 2. Fine grain 3. Medium grain 4. Coarse grain You used an undeveloped piece of film to determine the proper fixing time. The film took 2 minutes to clear.
Kodachrome 25 was a fine grained film with fairly accurate color reproduction and good color saturation. Over the last 8 years or so I used Fuji Velvia and Fuji Provia F ISO 100 transparency films for almost all of my 35mm photography.
Fine grain with good speed but fair to poor tonal rendering, or, coarse grain (relatively speaking) and average speed with fair to good tonality. I just shoot the latter in a bigger format. Not exclusively Tri X of course.
I prefer fine grain and high resolution, which films with higher ISO emulsions give up in pursuit of speed.
Slow film has fine grain (and hence high definition), high contrast but low latitude. (Latitude is the amount by which a film can be over or underexposed and still produce a reasonable image).
The larger the film the easier it is to make a fine grained print. For prints larger than 17" x 22" or where no amount of lowering the speed of film used makes the print appear acceptable, it is generally best to work with 120 or larger film.
I choose T-MAX 100 because it has a very fine grain and it is the black and white developing process that I have had the best results with. This is what fully developed dense negatives look like.
Because today's new film emulsions have dramatically improved the fine grain quality of most films - even relatively fast films, such as ISO 400 or even 800.
Fuji Velvia slide film is great stuff. It is widely used by professionals for its combination of fine grain and color saturation. What isn't widely agreed on though is what ISO speed to rate Velvia at.
What happens if you use a higher speed film rather than favoring a fine grain?
The first outing on a cloudless day was followed by a second one with a bit of cloud cover. The entire scene looked like it had been swapped.
The fine grained noise produced by the D700 is less objectionable in pictures than the rather more processed looking noise and noise reduction of the 5D Mark II, ...
and almost any other material can work if it complements the subject and is well lit. In other cases you may want to add other elements to the setup to invoke a mood. For example, an expensive pen might be shown in a rich setting with fine grained ...
