2.2-micron and 3.4-micron maps of the strongest radio continuum region of the W51 complex are presented. A number of new infrared sources detected correspond in position to radio subcomponents; multiband photometric data of these and other near-infrared sources found in W51 are given. Three faint optical nebulae have been found on the Palomar Survey at the positions of radio and, in two cases, infrared sources. The results show that extinction across the complex varies widely, and that the region of the brightest radio source, G49.5-0.4, is less heavily obscured than was previously thought.
