This instrument measures the fine structure of the interplanetary magnetic field, mapped the Jovian magnetic field, and provided magnetic field measurements to evaluate solar wind interaction with Jupiter. The magnetometer consists of a helium-filled cell mounted on a 6.6&nbsp;m boom to partly isolate the instrument from the spacecraft's magnetic field.<ref name=NSSDCHVM/>

The imaging experiment relies upon the spin of the spacecraft to sweep a small telescope across the planet in narrow strips only 0.03 degrees wide, looking at the planet in red (5800 to 7000 [[Angstrom|Å]]) and blue (3900 to 4900 Å) light. These strips were then processed to build up a visual image of the planet.<ref name="NSSDCIPP">{{cite web |url= https://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/nmc/experiment/display.action?id=1972-012A-07|title= Imaging Photopolarimeter (IPP)|publisher= NASA / National Space Science Data Center|access-date= February 19, 2011}}</ref>
