Abstract
The optical rain gauge description is presented. This device operates for obtaining and analyzing shadow images of precipitation particles. The possibility was demonstrated of using this device to study the microstructure of liquid atmospheric precipitation. Analysis of precipitation occurred for more than a day in the city of Tomsk on August 26–27, 2014 was taken as an example.
