HoloCloud
Real-time 3D holographic imaging for cloud particle observation and atmospheric profiling
HoloCloud uses in situ 3D holographic imaging to capture cloud particles and directly observe ice nucleation, droplet formation, and growth processes in real time. Designed for demanding field conditions, its compact, rugged, and weatherproof architecture, enhanced with an integrated heating system, enables reliable deployment at high altitude on UAV platforms.
