Nanoparticles are used in large quantities for very different applications. A precise determination of the diameter and the particle size distribution which is re- sponsible for the application properties is therefore essential. Reliable methods for measuring the above mentioned quantities are photometric measurements and ana- lytical ultracentrifugation with an UV optics detector. Both methods are ruled by the Mie effect, that is scattering and absorption of the particles as function of the diame- ter, the wavelength, and the shape of the particles. The extinction coefficients = c for spheres, rods, and core shell particles have been calculated and plotted over a wide range of the size parameter d/. Two examples for multimodal latex particles and core shell particles have been given and demonstrate the applicability of the method.
