  We present new resolved near and mid-IR imaging and N-band spectroscopy of
the two nuclei in the merger system NGCA3256, the most IR luminous galaxy in
the nearby universe. The results from the SED fit to the data are consistent
with previous estimates of the amount of obscuration towards the nuclei and the
nuclear star formation rates. However, we also find substantial differences in
the infrared emission from the two nuclei which cannot be explained by
obscuration alone. We conclude that the northern nucleus requires an additional
component of warm dust in order to explain its properties. This suggests that
local starforming conditions can vary significantly within the environment of a
single system.
