NGC5252 is one of the most spectacular examples for the anisotropy
of the radiation in Seyfert galaxies. Unambiguous  evidence for that
has been provided from the 21cm observations by Prieto & Freudling,93
ApJ418,668. The key issue on whether the observed
anisotropy is intrinsic to the source or due to obscuration is
currently being addressed through a multi-wavelength study of its
nuclear region. This proposal address the study of N5252 in
the middle_IR  and proposes imaging of its nuclear region with
CAM. Three goals are pursued: 1rst, to determine the shape of
the truly IR nuclear continuum emission; 2nd, to map the 10
arcsec circumnuclear structure seen in Near-IR/optical ratio images
3rth, to check for the presence of dust/molecular
material features,these being crucial  discriminants for modeling
of the nuclear source. ISOCAM data will be complemented with long
wavelength imaging that will be collected with PHOT as a part of the
Garanteed ISO time programmes, and where N5252 has set with priority 1.
