An enhanced version of the "Polarimeter für bolometer Kameras" (PolKa) has been installed on the APEX telescope (Atacama Pathfinder EXperiment) in October 2009, to work in combination with LABOCA (the Large APEX Bolometer Camera). This polarimeter was included in the design of LABOCA's optics from the beginning and it is now going through a commissioning phase. Preliminary tests on sky have confirmed that the combination of PolKa, LABOCA and APEX provides unprecedented capabilities in mapping the polarization of the continuum emission at submillimeter wavelengths.
