We present a high spatial resolution photographic study of the core of some concentrated globular clusters (F.W.H.M. of averaged star intensity profiles reaches 0″.5 on the best plates). Good plates of M 79, M 53, M 3, M 5, M 13, M 92, NGC 6397, M 15, M 2 and M 30 were obtained (Aurière and Cordoni, 1983, Astron. Astrophys. Suppl. Ser. 52, 383 and references therein). The observations are mainly obtained at the 2 m and 1 m Cassegrain telescopes of Pic-du-Midi Observatory. The high spatial resolution of our plates enables us to achieve stellar photometry, at least for the bright stars, in these overcrowded regions. Surface photometry is also obtained.
