Our purchasing group is trying to qualify a new low cost PCB vendor, and I 
have some reservations.  I have been examining their sample boards, and while 
one oif them shows a normal ENiG grain under 800x magnification, the other is 
flat and dull.  I believe it might be just gold plating.  It's hard to tell from the 
cross sectons they sent (those display their own set of concerns).  I'm trying 
to find some images to compare these, but I'm having no luck.  Does anyone 
know of a good site where I might find some ENiG and Gold images?

Thanks,

Pete
