The Precipitation and Imaging Probe (PIP) is an airborne optical spectrometer developed by Droplet Measurement Technologies. It measures the size and shape of particles ranging from 100 to 6200 μm. It provides two-dimensional images with a pixel resolution of 100 μm. PIP operates at a wavelength of 660 nm and typically samples every second. It has a sample area of 260 mm by 6.2 mm and can function at airspeeds of 10 to 200 meters per second.
