| Name | FAAM 2D Cloud Particle Imaging Probe |
| Acronym | PMS-2D2C-FAAM |
| Manufacturer | Particle Measuring Systems |
| Operated by | FAAM |
| Operated onboard |
| Name | Optical Array Probe (OAP) |
| Acronym | Optical Array Probe |
| Measured parameter | Particle shadow area/diameter |
| Operating principle | Optical array probe. Cloud particle enters field of view passing through a laser beam. Particle shadow falls on a collecting optical array (normally a photodiode array). This is sampled at a rate such that the pixel resolution in time is the same as that in the across-array dimension. This forms a digitized shadow image of the particle. |
