  We present the results of high-resolution mid-infrared observations of the
source NGC 3576 IRS 1. Near diffraction-limited images were taken at the Gemini
South Observatory through OSCIR's filters N, 7.9, 9.8, 12.5 and IHW18. The
source IRS 1 was resolved into 3 sources for the first time at mid-infrared
wavelengths. For each source we constructed the SED from 1.25 to 18 microns, as
well the color temperature and the spatial distribution of the dust in the
region. The optical depth of the silicate absorption feature at 9.8 microns is
presented also.
