Have you made any changes in your processing (scrubbing?) prior to 
     photoresist?  Very small surface imperfections out of electroless can 
     be greatly amplified by electroplate.

I am experienceing a fine dusting of nodgles that show up anywhere on the 
circuits especially on ground plane areas. The nodgle is dome shaped, higher 
than the surrounding area and very spherical in shape. Bright acid copper, 
everything in spec.I have eliminated deburr, resist (as I see it on panel 
plate also only with much less frequency of occurance).Not a pit from air 
inpengment a dome. Suspect a fungus in the brightener ???
     
Wondering if anyone else has seen anything similiar
     
Thanks
Wm.M.
