The central region of the Orion nebula was photographed using the 193-cm telescope at Haute Provence Observatory with an electronic infrared camera and a series of interference filters in the spectral range 7500-11,000 A. The photographs for He I 10,830 A differ from those at other wavelengths. Multichannel spectrometric and interferometric studies support the hypothesis that 10,830-A photons are absorbed by dust particles mixed with the gas in the nebula. The results suggest an increase in the dust-to-gas ratio in going from the central region to outer regions of the nebula. The picture corresponding to /S II/ (centered on 10,330 A with bandpass 200 A) shows numerous stars which are not visible on the others or the maps established by Parenago.
