I thought I would just post my findings for future reference.  I was probably being a but dim but it turns out the interpolation is an artefact of OS X Preview - I also saw it in LaTeX through the TeXShop client because the preview is based on OS X Preview. I opened the file in Adobe Illustrator and converted to PDF and found there was no interpolation in Illustrator or Acrobat Reader.  Interestingly, when I print the page though TeXShop the interpolation is gone and looks as it does in Acrobat.  Another weird thing is that Matlab seems to invert the colours when exporting to EPS (although I didn't check any other formats), but only in the plot and the colour bar (i.e. not the text).

Why are the simple things never straight forward :-)
