  An Andor 1K $\times$ 1K EMCCD detector has been used to develop an optical
imaging polarimeter for use at the Cassegrain focus of 1.2 m telescope of PRL.
The optics is derived from an older single-element detector instrument and
consists of a rotating half-wave plate as modulator and a Foster prism as an
analyser. The field of view of the instrument is 3 $\times$ 3 sq arcmin. We
describe the instrument and the observational methodology in this document.
Extensive observations have been carried out with this instrument covering a
large variety of sources e.g. near-Earth asteroids, comets, Lynds dark nebulae,
open clusters and AGN such as blazars. In the current communication, we discuss
some results from the initial calibration runs while the other results will be
presented elsewhere.
