Introducing Opol: The Open Polarimeter

More than a mere typo, Opol is the statement-piece you can’t be seen without. (Well you could. But you shouldn’t. Not if you know what’s good for you.) Designed with love and sprinkled with open-source goodness, this research-grade polarimeter will make you the envy of your peers
With its designer looks and crowd-pleasing performance specs, Opol will impress even the most critical eye. But don’t be alarmed - this is no elitist product! It can be assembled in a day for $250, including all optics, mounts and circuitry. What are you waiting for?
What’s that you say? You don’t like marketing hype, and would rather get a proper instrument from a reputable supplier? Ooh, that hurts. But fair enough: if you hunt around, I’m sure you can pick one up for $15000 or so. Plus sales tax.
Oh yeah, you’ll probably want to set another $3000 aside for maintenance and software upgrades. They only make them in beige, I’m afraid. But you could always paint yours. If you don’t mind voiding the manufacturer's guarantee...
