What is this on my tomato leaves?

Here are the pictures I was referring to in the above post.

The first two pictures below were taken on March 6th. The tomatoes are smaller than a pencil eraser. The one with the black spot rotted off. I think that those white specks are spores and the beginning of the problem but at the time I didn't know that. The second picture is a healthy tomato. Unfortunately when I took the second picture it wasn't as focused as the first so I was never sure if there were white spots on it or not.

The third picture is the same tomato as the second picture but just taken tonight and at this point the tomato is about the size of a half dollar. This plant is an heirloom and has had 100 plus blooms and only 5 tomatoes have set. You can see one of the new tiny tomatoes in the background of the third picture.

Please let me know your thoughts on whether those are mold spores in the first picture.
