A method is proposed to determine the eigenfrequencies of nanostructures (nanotubes and nanocrystals) by measuring the eigenfrequencies of a "large system" that comprises an array of vertically oriented similar nanotubes or nanocrystals equidistantly grown on a substrate. It is shown that the eigenfrequencies of a single nanoobject can be derived from the eigenfrequency spectra of the large (array-substrate) system and of the substrate. In other words, using experimental data for large systems, one can determine the eigenfrequencies of single nanoobjects, which are difficult to determine otherwise. By way of example, the eigenfrequencies of an array of zinc oxide micro-or nanocrystals on a sapphire substrate are calculated.
