FMPS
Fast Mobility Particle Sizer

The Fast Mobility Particle Sizer (FMPS) is an in situ spectrometer manufactured by TSI Incorporated. It measures aerosol particle size distribution in the range of 5.6 to 560 nm with 32 resolution channels. FMPS has a data rate of 1 Hz and a sample flow rate of 10 liters per minute. It can be deployed on airborne and ground-based platforms and is ideal for studying relatively stable aerosols.
