We have obtained Hubble Space Telescope ultraviolet (UV; λc = 2320 Å) images of nine starburst galaxies using the FOC, with the aim of characterizing the anatomy of starbursts with ∼pc resolution at a wavelength where hot massive stars dominate the luminosity output. The images have been analysed in detail, and full results can be found in Meurer et al. (1995).
