We measure the electric field component of light propagating through a photonic crystal waveguide with a polarization- and phase-sensitive near-field microscope. We reconstruct the full in-plane polarization state of the light with sub-wavelength resolution. We identify two polarization singularities within a unit cell of the waveguide and study the topology of the surrounding electric field.
