Near-infrared images of the Serpens molecular cloud core have been carried out at UKIRT (Mauna Kea Observatory) using the infrared array camera, IRCAM. A large-scale diffuse nebulosity extending over the central part of the core is observed. Over 100 K-sources are detected in the 30 arc min2 cloud core. Some of them are PMS objects which were previously unknown. For the first time, a near-infrared counterpart of the far-infrared source Seroens FIRS1 has been detected. The 2.2 µm source appears as a point like object at the apex of an extended knotty, jet-like nebulosity oriented towards the northwest. In addition, a group of 11 stellar objects is seen in the position of the IR/radio source SVS4. These objects are embedded in a very faint nebulosity and form one of the densest clustering of young stars found in dark clouds.
