We discuss MAXIPOL, a bolometric balloon-borne experiment designed to measure the E-mode polarization anisotropy of the cosmic microwave background radiation (CMB) on angular scales of 10 0 to 2Β°. MAXIPOL is the first CMB experiment to collect data with a polarimeter that utilizes a rotating half-wa
