We measured the X-ray polarization using our micro-pixel chamber with a strip readout, while changing the X-ray energy (5-18 keV) and gas mixtures (neon-and argon-based). As a result, modulation factors of 0.18 (at 9 keV) and 0.12 (at 14 keV) were obtained for neon-and argon-based mixtures, respecti
