In this paper, the focus is on the photoacoustic imaging modality using dielectric nano-particles as contrast agents. A heterogeneous tissue is considered, and represented by a bounded domain \(\Omega\). By means of an electromagnetic wave, heat is generated, and consequently an acoustic pressure wave, that can be detected and measured on the accessible boundary \(\partial\Omega\). This allows to extract information about optical properties of the tissue. Two different studies are carried out, according as single nano-particles, or couples of closely spaced nano-particles (i.e. dimers), are injected.\par From the measure of the acoustic pressure before and after the injection process, the authors are able to localize the center points of the nano-particles previously injected. This leads to transform the photoacoustic problem into the inversion of phaseless internal electric fields in the first case, while, in the second case, the permittivity and the conductivity of the tissue on the centers is obtained. A comparison is provided with authors' knowledge about the photo-acoustic imaging modality using contrast agents
