Imaging polarimeter is one of the primary tools of state of polarizatio analysis, and it enhances the information available in variety of applications. The foundations of polarimeter are discussed. Two classes of typical imaging polarimeters are reviewed, including division of time polarimeters and simultaneous measurement polarimeters. Both of the classes are subdivided in to several kinds of polarimeters, characteristics of them are discussed. Our current work on imaging polarimeter is revealed at last.
