Resulting size distributions for the first and second citrate sample. Comparison of a 2D length and diameter distribution (Gans), b the corresponding two one-dimensional size distributions for citrate sample 1 for the different optical models and c the two-dimensional size distribution (Gans), d the corresponding two one-dimensional size distributions for citrate sample 2 in comparison with results from TEM analysis. The insets show the size distribution of nanorods obtained by TEM. One hundred particles were TEM-counted for each sample
