We are proposing to observe a small sample of low-mass X-ray binaries at 10 and 90 microns. This will extend the wavelength at which the accretion discs and secondary stars have been detected by a factor 4 to 40. This will allow us to test the mechanisms by which the accretion discs produce light. More importantly, the longest wavelengths that these systems have been observed at to date suggest there is another, as yet unidentified source of IR light. The long wavelength coverage of ISO is the only way of showing if this really exists. One target of the five in this proposal is a ToO.
