Abstract
We present maps of duel, emission at 7 mum and 15 mum/7 mum intensity ratio s of selected regions in 43 spiral galaxies observed with ISOCAM. This atla s is a complement to studies based on these observations, dealing with Star formation in centers of barred galaxies and in spiral disks. It is accompa nied by a detailed description of data reduction and an inventory of generi c morphological properties in groups defined according to bar strength and HI gas content.
