We present 0.18$^{\prime\prime}$ resolution mid-infrared images of OH231.8+4.2 using the Gemini South telescope. The images show a bright central core of $\sim$1$^{\prime\prime}$ in size, with extended emissions in the lobes. We find evidence for different chemical composition of the dust in the core and the lobes from the narrow-band images.
