We present the results of speckle observations of to classical T Tauri stars (CTTS) in the U (3.87μm) and M (4.8μm) near-IR bands. These wavelengths were selected in order to search for cold companions to with a strong IR excess. No new companions were found but known close IR companions were measured in U, most of which had previously been detected at K, thus providing the K-L color of each component. No extended structures beyond 15 AU are detected in any of the observed T Tauri stars. The young binary system Z CMa has also been resolved at M but the extended structure reported by Malbet et al. (1993) is not seen in our data to an upper limit in flux ratio of 5%.
