I noticed a white string of what seem to be eggs. the individual eggs are about 1 mm in size.I took a photo which is with a normal camera. I had plenty of time on my hands and found a "toy" Celestron digital microscope I had given to my kids a while ago. Scooped out the stringy mass and made a quick wet mount slide. The microscope is able to record the digital image and they were surprisingly good. Have a look.

Any ideas as to what they are?

Looks like snail eggs, and inside the egg it looks like snails. Don't know for sure until they hatch. Nice images from a toy.
