    From an English language view it should be the microscopic particles. Actually, "particles" is a wrong word and should be parts or components. There is ambiguity because it could refer back to the products.

    Nanotechnology involves the creation of products using microscopic particles AND generally measuring 100 nanometers or less.  This refers to the products measuring 100 nanometers.
