%K Microwave imaging, inverse scattering, TE-illumination, TM-illumination,multiscaling strategy. %X In this paper, the solution of two-dimensional inverse scattering problems is addressed by probing the unknown scenarios with TE and TM waves. To better exploit the information content of the scattered data the multi-zooming approach is used. The results of experiments with single as well as multiple scatterers are reported and discussed also in comparison with single-polarization inversions. "(c) The Electromagnetics Academy.
