Abstract: We present Doppler maps of Halpha emission lines of AM Her from four different epochs. The tomography shows a strong velocity "spot" emission at (−100,−100) km s−1 and a weaker "spot" emission at (−100,−400) km s −1 which is suggestive of bi-polar accretion onto the white dwarf with stronger emission from the main pole at phase φ=0.0.
