Severe Problem or Severe Paranoia?

Hopefully paranoia, in the pics I posted I see little clear balls on the underside of all the leaves. These pics are at 100X zoom microscope, and some look milky but it's the light on the end of the scope, they are clear. Now i've seen pictures of spider mite eggs that looked similiar to these but I didn't know what the magnification was in those pics. The plants are all perfectly healthy and have no spots or anything like that at all. I cannot find any living creatures or any carcasses of dead insects anywhere on any plants. I have found no webs or anything at all except these spheres on the leaf bottoms. Am I just going overboard with my new scope or is this a bug problem of epic proportions? I've included a pic of the small vein in the leaf that I took the other pics from for scale references, as well as to show that as soon as i get away from the surface of the leaf at 100x the spheres are much less noticeable. I outlinined the spheres as well as one without the circles of the same pic for reference. and finally a pic of the leaf in my hand for scale. Please help if you can, nothing is visible with the naked eye at all on any plant, but at 100x you see the spheres. :-(

Thanks for the input, I hope it's nothing. I can't see there being this many eggs and not see any symtoms or live bugs or webs or something. But I haven't had to deal with any intruders yet so I may be a little paranoid as I don't want any either. These are on all leaves of all plants top to bottom in both flower and veg so I hoped it was just super high magnification of the plant matter and me being paranoid. The forums are always a wealth of knowledge so this is where I ask to be sure.

yeah, thats what they look like, just like the swollen heads on a premature trichome without the stem. This is a very very frosty strain so that's what I was hoping. The plants seem to be perfectly healthy and are drinkin & eatin like pigs and growin like weeds at day 20 of flower.
