We present preliminary results of a mid-infrared imaging photometric survey of the young, embedded population of the nearby (d=125 pc) Rho Oph molecular cloud core for binaries/multiple systems in the 0.3-10 arcsec separation range. One triple system, WL20, will be used as an illustrative example of how the combination of spatially resolved multiwavelength photometry (spanning 1--25 microns) with spatially resolved near-infrared spectroscopy of the individual components, can be used to test and constrain current pre-main-sequence evolutionary models.
