The Track Imaging Cerenkov Experiment (TrICE) implements a method for making a precision measurement of cosmic-ray composition at TeV energies. The telescope is designed to distinguish two components of Cerenkov emission associated with a cosmic-ray nucleus interacting in the atmosphere. One component is caused by the primary nucleus before the first hadronic interaction occurs, and the other is produced by the extensive air shower following that interaction. Separation of the direct and air shower light gives measurements of the primary particle charge and energy on an event-by-event basis. An imaging Cerenkov telescope with sufficient angular and temporal resolution can achieve this. We will discuss the direct Cerenkov method and report on the status of TrICE.
