Have you tried lightly dragging your finger tip or fingernail over these to see if you can feel them; it is likely that you can. Then dig into your CAM settings and you will find out how small the peaks are, this is the chordal height or something like that. (I think; I don't use CAM but have read a bit about this stuff.) As an example of how sensitive our sense of touch can be I find it interesting.
