A technique to model the instrumental polarization in the focal plane of a telescope is presented. It takes into account that different rays of an incoming beam suffer different variation of the original polarization in their paths through the system. It also considers that the net effect depends on the way in which the different rays interfere with each other. It is shown that the Mueller matrix which describes this instrumental polarization greatly simplifies if the polarimetric measurements have poor spatial resolution
