In the recent years, the term nanobiotechnology has gained a fulminant increasing attention from almost any industrial and scientific sectors. It refers to the use of very small materials that can be used to ameliorate and/or increase the properties of almost any kinds of products (aerospace, medicine, biology, textile, cosmetics, foods, etc.) . The basal element of that kind of 'small material' is called nanoparticles because of their dimension; at least one dimension as a diameter under 100 nm where nm is a unit of length in the metric system equal to one billionth of a metre. The present requested funds is to purchase an instrument that allows the characterization of these nanoparticles given information on their size and homogeneity, a major step before doing any kind of experiments.

近年来，纳米生物技术一词得到了几乎所有工业和科学部门越来越多的关注。它指的是使用非常小的材料，可以用来改善和/或增加几乎任何种类的产品（航空航天，医药，生物，纺织，化妆品，食品等）的性能。这种“小材料”的基本元素被称为纳米粒子，因为它们的尺寸；至少一个尺寸，如直径小于100nm，其中nm是公制中的长度单位，等于十亿分之一米。目前申请的资金是购买一种仪器，该仪器可以根据纳米颗粒的大小和均匀性对其进行表征，这是进行任何实验之前的主要步骤。
