This image has been submitted to ChipGuide as a possible variation of N9879. As a ChipGuide Admin, it is not clear to me what is going on here with the speckly white flakes (the owner calls them snowflakes). This anomaly appears on one side of the chip only.

Any thoughts, opinions?

Thanks, Jim

(My best guess is a picture of a chip in a petri dish, undergoing testing for bacterial growth.)
