We present the complete results of our far infrared survey of the northern part of the galactic plane. Most of the results relevant for the large scale structure of the Galaxy are given by Boissé et al. (1980). Here data are shown in form of brightness contour maps. A special procedure to separate extended sources from the unresolved component has been developed and a catalogue of 58 extended sources is given. The continuous component can be accounted for by the unresolved sources with the constructed luminosity function. Some astrophysical consequences of these observations have been worked out. We give a production rate of the far infrared radiation versus galactic radius and a total luminosity of the Galaxy of 5 1010 Lsun. We confirm the variation of the ratio of radio continuum emission to the infrared radiation with the galactic radius. Furthermore, we find that this ratio correlates well with a mean dust temperature given by the ratio between our two channels. Both effects lead us to conclude to a change of the initial mass function with galactic radius.
