Measurements of dust extinction in highly inclined spiral galaxies.
We study the extinction properties of dust in the well-defined dust lanes of four highly inclined galaxies using U-, B-, V-, R- and I-band CCD and J- and K'-band Near-Infrared array images. For three of these galaxies, we could use the symmetry of the underlying light profile to obtain absolute extinction values in the dust lanes. Maximum values
