| Plaque Notes | On average each singular plaque is around 0.2 cm in diameter but they tend to cluster together to form larger circles. The plaques are very clear with distinct round edges, very halo-like; however, they tend to create disfigured shapes when the cluster is not as full and outlying plaques make the edges look rougher. |
