/ Abstract
The nearby spiral galaxy NGC 6946 was observed with ISO-CAM in the mid-infrared, achieving 7inch resolution and sub-MJy sr(sup -1) sensitivity. Images taken with CAM filters LW2 (7(micro)m) and LW3 (15(micro)m) are analyzed to determine the morphology of this galaxy and understand beter the emission mechanisms.
