HI Marshall,

Can you explain how spectrophotometry can be used to indicate particle size in 
the 1 to 10 nm range? 

They keep telling me It can't be done, at Spectronics.

Uncharged particle will tend to aggregate very rapidly, and
spectorphotometry will show the difference in particle size.  I believe
there is therotical basis for there being a difference depending on charge
as well, but I will have to hit the references on that one to be sure.
