CarlOmaha Valued Member United States 181 Posts	Posted 07/28/2019 2:16 pm Just want to check with others if I am seeing things, or if there is actually something here. I was zoomed out on my microscope when I saw a hint of "D" about the primary "D". I have tried to capture the "ghost D" with various lighting and I have marked the area in question. Expert eyes and opinions are most welcome. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/28/2019 2:23 pm It would be raised if it were a RPM. Just looks like surface disturbance on the die. Note on your third image; you can see die flow lines over that area. So it is not a RPM. If it were, then there would be lines from where it was raised on that area. I see just normal flow lines with no distortion on that area. Just your eyes playing tricks on you. Report this Post to the Staff
