What kind of filter do you have?

Polyfil does wonders to give water that extra polish. You can buy it at any arts / craft stores, walmart etc. Just make sure it's 100% polyfil ... no fire retardants etc.

Are you sure they are not microbubbles from somewhere? Polyfill works wonders for me. I've been using it in all my tanks for years.

+1 with meegosh. Any particles in the water column would be caught in poly-fill. By chance how often do you change the polyfill? I change mine every two weeks and it's amazing how FILTHY they can get in two weeks.

Are these particles only floating on the surface? If so are you running an air-stone?

Could be micro-bubbles that look the particles, especially when you look at it from below the water line with the lights on. I have something similar and I know it's just micro-bubbles.
