Description
We present mid- and far-IR data from the CfA Seyfert sample, obtained with two instruments---ISOCAM and ISOPHOT---on board ISO. The spatial resolution of ISOCAM images allows us to separate the nuclear and extended contributions of the integrated emission. The improved spatial resolution of the ISOPHOT detectors allows us for the first time to provide ``nuclear'' photometry in the far IR for some galaxies. We also study the correlation between the mid-IR emission (nuclear and integrated) with the photometric data from 16 to 120 microns (ISOPHOT data).
