Abstract
We present our preliminary results of the IMF of the central star-forming cluster HD 97950 in NGC 3603 focussing particularly on low-mass regions. NGC 3603 is the best-studied template for extragalactic starbursts so far, and our recent high resolution data in the H and K bands have shown us the deepest sources in the cluster.
