We present optical high-resolution spectroscopy of AM Her and QQ Vul. Making use of indirect imaging techniques (Doppler and Roche tomography), we are able to make details visible, which a model of these systems has to be able to account for. Especially the emission line data cannot be explained by current models of polars.
