Schematic setup of a nanoparticle tracking analyzer. The particles in a sample are illuminated with a laser beam. The scattered light is recorded by a CMOS camera fitting at 90˚ to the illumination plane, in a built-in ultramicroscope system. A fluorescence filter is placed between the cell holder and the microscope. Light scattered by the particles is displayed in the “live-view” window of the software. The size of each particle is calculated by Brownian motion analysis of the individual tracks, allowing for simultaneous determination of size and concentration
