Weyl semimetals host chiral fermions in solids as a pair of non-degenerate linear dispersions with band crossing points in their bulk electronic structure. These Weyl points are protected by topology, forming a Fermi arc, which is a connection between a pair of Weyl points with opposite chirality at the surface. Momentum microscopy provides two dimensional photoelectron maps of the in-plane crystal momentum over the whole Brillouin zone, simultaneously. Together with an imaging spin filter, we have revealed the spin-resolved electronic structure of the type-II Weyl semimetal 1Td MoTe2 in the full Brillouin zone. Supported by first-principles calculations, we clarified the spin texture and the orbital texture of the Weyl cones, which reflect the chirality of the Weyl points. We give evidence that a pair of Weyl cones exhibits a strong circular dichroism with reversed sign, indicating the different charge of the respective Weyl points in the Fermi surface.
