The Three-View Particle Imager (3V-CPI) is an in situ airborne spectrometer and particle imager manufactured by SPEC, Inc. The 3V-CPI is a combined Cloud Particle Imager (CPI) and a 2D-Stereo Particle Probe (2D-S). Its main capability is collecting high-resolution imagery which is utilized to determine the size, shape, and concentration of hydrometeors. The 3V-CPI contains a resolution of 10 μm and can detect hydrometeors up to 1280 μm.
