We present the first fabrication, to the best of our knowledge, of chalcogenide microstructured optical fibers in Te-As-Se glass, their optical characterization, and numerical simulations in the middle infrared. In a first fiber, numerical simulations exhibit a single-mode behavior at 3.39 and $9.3\mathrm{\mu m}$ , in good agreement with experimental near-field captures at $9.3\mathrm{\mu m}$ . The second fiber is not monomode between 3.39 and $9.3\mathrm{\mu m}$ , but the fundamental losses are $9\mathrm{dB/m}$ at $3.39\mathrm{\mu m}$ and $6\mathrm{dB/m}$ at $9.3\mathrm{\mu m}$ . The experimental mode field diameters are compared to the theoretical ones with a good accordance.
