Purple trichome "stalks"......

I was fiddling around with my new USB scope and noticed something I couldn't figure out. Here and there on some leaves I see purple in the "stalk" of the trichomespurple.jpg more_purple.jpg . Also noticed it on the tip of a leaf. Could this have something to do with a deficiency?
Maybe I'm fretting over nothing but I thought I'd put up a few pics to get some expert advice.... TIA for your help.....

Thank you RM3..... glad to know the purple isn't a problem. I've been having a ball looking at the trichomes as the girls come near to cutting. I'm not quite sure about the % amber trichs to look for before cutting and when I saw the purple I wondered what I missed.....lol ..... this is an auto, King's Kush from Green House Seed. I'm leaning toward very few ambers and a high % cloudy (hope that makes sense).... It's really hard waiting -- I need to distract myself somehow....lol

The amber in your pics is translucent, that is a good thing

Tis opaque that is bad

Thanks again, RM3 ...... What does opaque indicate? Hopefully I will be able to learn to differentiate so harvest will be done properly. After all the time spent I sure don't want to ball things up now!!!

Fantastic..... the pic is definitely worth a thousand words..... Thank you so much, RM3.

Would you mind my asking what photo editing program you use? I'd love to be able to annotate pics like you did......

Nice..... I've fiddled some with GIMP but I have yet to master it or even feel comfortable....lol.
I'll check out the link. I was just looking at the GrowHappy site and it's really informative.
Thank you for pointing me in the right direction.
