  The DENIS/ISOGAL near/mid-IR survey of the Milky Way for the first time
probes stellar populations in the innermost obscured regions of our galaxy.
Ages, metallicities and extinction-corrected luminosities are derived for these
stars individually. An old metal-rich population dominates in the inner
galactic Bulge, but there are also indications for the presence of a younger
population. The inner Bulge has a tri-axial shape, as traced by depth effects
on the observed luminosity distributions.
