Hi Martin,
        If you scroll down to the end of the Nick Rains article you
will see my follow-up, including photomicrograph, in which I
attribute the 'pepper grain' to microscopic bubbles in the
scratch-resistant layer which protects the emulsion. I also have seen
the 'pepper grain' effect on every brand of film I have examined, not
just Fuji, and in both slides and negatives.

Regards,
Roger Smith
