Abstract: We present preliminary results from HST/NICMOS imaging polarimetry of optically thin proto-planetary nebulae (PPNs). The data show the dust distribution in unprecedented detail. The structure of these faint PPNs is revealed via polarization properties of the dust-scattered light without much interference from the bright central star, proving the unique advantages of the technique over simple imaging.
