Scientific paper

Polarimetry at near-infrared wavelengths is shown to be an important
tool in understanding the properties of the obscuring torus in NGC1068.
We present evidence for the existence of aligned grains in the torus,
which produce polarized flux through dichroism, and show how the torus
itself can be observed in silhouette in polarized flux images.
