We have imaged over an extensive field the 3.29-μm emission from the Carina Nebula. This emission arises from polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons which are excellent tracers of photodissociation regions. The results emphasis the two very different environments of the massive star clusters of the nebula, Trumpler 14 and 16.
