The Fast Integrated Mobility Spectrometer (FIMS) is an in situ airborne spectrometer that measures aerosol size distributions. It separates charged aerosol particles based on their electrical mobility and then uses a charge-coupled device (CCD) imaging system to determine a particle size distribution. FIMS can measure aerosol size distributions from 8 to 600 nm at a sampling rate of 1 Hz.
