Spider mites correct?

Are these bug eggs? I’m pretty sure the brown things are coco that blew up from electrostatic spraying. Just have one plant that I can’t get to green up and I pulled some leafs. Got a new microscope and it is 1800x am I just so close it just part of the plant and with so much light it is making look like an egg. Pulled leafs from all the plants they all have some of it. Some more than others. I’m I worried for no reason? Again or is it balls at the end of the hairs? I could not find one crawler but it looks like an exoskeleton molting in a few of the pics. Let me know what you think.

Those little round blobs look worrisome, but I don't think you've got spider mites.
 
Pull off a heavily infected leaf and hold it up to the light. You can usually spot them moving around with the naked eye.
 
I can’t find anything alive but I did drop some nukes before I took these. there are exoskeletons, and pretty sure those are dead 2 spotted spider mites in a couple of the pics. Leaf miners for sure. Slugs lay round eggs like that as well but they would be bigger. There are a few pics in there that I think they are slugs or just pupal. Everything is magnified 1400x

The healthy top leafs farthest from the start of the infestation don’t have any of those balls the closer you get the more you see

I know I couldn’t find any crawlers but the eggs look just like spider mites
 
These are oil glands. As the plant grows, these will turn into trichs.

There are zero webs, you do not have spider mites.
I do see a couple of things that look like aphid molt, but they are the wrong color, so I doubt it.
No bugs.

There are definitely leaf miners, mites I’m not sure of. Why do the leafs farthest away from where it started have hardly any oil glands? There are the exoskeletons? You can see the miners in a few of the pics so a lot of those smaller dots are eggs. Teach me
 
Aphid eggs look different. Some types of mite and aphids lay their eggs inside the leaf tissue. Here is a pic of where they hatched and the molt from one of them is still there.
The red circles where they crawled out of the leaf.
The purple is a molted skin.
See the oil glands in the picture?
