Scientific paper

Polarization and wavelength are the bits of information attached to every photon that reveal the most about its formation and subsequent history. The E-ELT will, for the foreseeable future, be the most powerful optical light-collecting machine ever built. The strength of its combination, spectropolarimetry with the E-ELT, is the anchorage in physics of astronomical observations. I present a strawman design of a spectropolarimeter for its intermediate focus.
