Three small, impulsive solar-microwave bursts (peak fluxes 4.9, 3.0, and 0.4 sfu) were observed during 1979 September 7--9, using the Very Large Array (VLA) at 15.05 or 22.5 GHz. The data from 10 antennas distributed on three arms of the array provide the first two-dimensional burst images with spatial resolution as high as 1.0 x 0.75. Atmospheric effects at long baselines were overcome by means of a self-calibration technique.
