6.2. Two-<strong>di</strong>mensional analysis: rotation measure and depolarization 113<br />

6.2.1 0755+37: images<br />
Two RM images have been produced, at resolutions of 1.3 and 4.0 arcsec. Both of the fits are very<br />
good, showing no evidence for deviations fromλ 2 rotation, although the total range of rotation is<br />
quite small. The RM maps are both shown in Fig. 6.4.<br />
