  We present mid IR spectro-photometric imaging of a sample of eight nearby ($D
\leq 240$pc) Herbig Ae/Be stars. The spectra are dominated by photospheric
emission (HR6000), featureless infrared excess emission (T~Cha), broad silicate
emission feature (HR5999) and the infrared emission bands (HD 97048, HD 97300,
TY~CrA, HD 176386). The spectrum of HD179218 shows both silicate emission and
infrared emission bands (IEB). All stars of our sample where the spectrum is
entirely dominated by IEB have an extended emission on scales of a few thousand
AU ($\sim 10''$). We verify the derived source extension found with ISOCAM by
multi--aperture photometry with ISOPHT and compare our ISOCAM spectral
photometry with ISOSWS spectra.
