Dear Warren,
Yup, U are right, they do look like dust mites.... (probably look very much
like material for Men In Black) just like those U see in clumps of dust....
U are fortunate to have low humidity climate over there... down here its
really hot and very humid.... fungus is a real big problem... affects
cameras etc, video tapes, even buildings aren't spared, they are normally
repainted every once in 5 years..... with all those ugly red fungi streaks,
black and so on....
I have a dry cabinet (only 50 liters small)... its necessary to preserve
expensive eqpt...
As for the black specs, they came with it ( bought it 2nd hand)....
