This paper is devoted to the development of a new probe to measure a drift from cooling towers. The probe was named DPIK (Drop Hunter Isokinetic) and its development consists of a design of the aerodynamic and microelectronic part of the probe, verification methods, design and testing, verification tests in laboratory conditions and measurements on a model of the cooling tower. The paper deals mainly with the verification tools, as these methods are very closely related to the aerodynamic part of the probe design. Two options were chosen for verifying the probe principle. The first of these was the Interferometric Particle Imaging (IPI) method, the second was another optical method using similar experimental equipment Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV).
