Abstract: An arrangement (90) has a support (10) and nanoparticles (40, 70) that are located thereupon. At least two nanoparticles (40, 70), both of which are made of a metal material (M1, M2) and are different regarding the metal material, are disposed at a distance from one another on a surface (130) of the support (10). The two metal materials have a different degree of preciousness.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for verification of particles, in particular of nanoparticles (16), in which a sensor area (15) is made available for this purpose, on which the particles can accumulate. The invention also relates to a sensor arrangement having a sensor area (15) which is suitable for carrying out the method mentioned. The invention provides for a plurality of sensor areas (15) to be arranged, on which particles which each have different characteristics can accumulate. For example, this makes it possible to classify nanoparticles (16) of different size, thus advantageously allowing a statement to be made on the size distribution of the nanoparticles (16) in a nanopowder.

Abstract: Apparatus for illuminating a sample plate (12) which is to be examined for example by fluorescent light excitation of the samples. This apparatus has a plurality of light-emitting diodes (15), which are arranged in an array and whose radiated light is guided in a homogeneous light field through an optical arrangement (19) onto a sample field (22). The intensity of the light field suffices in particular for generating a fluorescent light excitation of the samples (23), which can be determined by a CCD camera (29). This provides a cost-effective light source for generating a light field with sufficient intensity.
