The images we use already appear bigger than the manuscript is in real life. Then we proceed to zoom in on those images, making it even bigger. What you are doing is like looking at the ink under a microscope.
Now consider that ink is applied with a big ol feather they took from a bird. Onto the slightly uneven skin of a calf. These dots are the smallest markings they were able to make. Simply a touch of the quill tip. This tip is cut to a specific shape, it doesn't usually make perfectly round dots. So this is what you get when someone uses one part of an animal to apply ink to a part of another animal.
There is no microscopic writing in the VM - just the expected unevenness.
