How tiny?  Are they possibly just air bubbles?

No, they don't, provided your dishwasher is working properly.

If you have the instructions that came with your dishwasher, there should
be a section on finding out how much detergent you should use, given the
hardness of your water.  You should probably follow those guidelines, and
not simply fill up the detergent cup.
Have you tried using a rinse agent in your dishwasher?  (Admittedly, many
dishwasher detergents have a rinse agent incorporated in them now.)
