N-band (10.8 μm) imaging of the blue compact starburst galaxy He 2-10 reveals the presence of four emission regions, which have no optical or near-IR counterparts. These sources correspond to the ‘ultradense H ii’ regions recently identified in 2cm and 6cm radio maps of this galaxy. We have used the N-band data to place constraints on the properties of the stellar clusters, that are deeply embedded within these dust-emitting regions.
