Abstract
We describe a photometric system designed for detection of WR stars in the near-infrared region and based on a combination of narrow-band fi lters and a CCD detector. The system is sensitive to Of and faint-line d WN and WC stars and suitable for obscured regions of star formation in our Galaxy.
