AFM has been proceeded on M1 and M2.

The pdf shows the first images taken with the PLIC room Leica microscope (zoom x10 and x80).

Then the hole has been studied with a handmade microscope. It brought a better resolution. We can now see the hole has an edge, a center structure and and extra-hole sparkle (pailleté) structure.

The AFM shows these 3 structures are real. The top of the hole is at ~+1µm and the center ~-2µm compare to the coating surface. The sparkles are ~10nm high and we also found kind of "explosion" desposit while zooming on the sparkles.

The 3D view and profil show perfectly the "crater".
