The THEMIS solar telescope has undergone extensive changes since 2018. Thanks to a new optical system that include a state-of-the-art solar adaptive optics, diffraction limit imaging is now available a large fraction of the time. Benefits of higher spatial resolution in spectroscopy is also extremely appreciated and has already allowed publications. Our new polarimetric analysis is currently under commissionning and we shall present our firsts observing results in spectropolarimetry using our long slit spectrograph. THEMIS is also planning to host a new instrumental mode for bidimensional (Fabry-Perot) spectropolarimetry in 2024.
