Deep Hβ narrowband and broadband images of M3 have been electronically blinked to search for cataclysmic binaries. Tests of the method on a known, faint cataclysmic enable us to set limits on the sensitivity of the technique. No bright (MB < 6) emission-line (equivalent width > 12 Å) cataclysmic binaries exist in M3 between 4 and 30 core radii from the center. Low luminosity globular X-ray sources could still be weak-lined (E.W. < 12 Å) and bright (MB ≃ +5 like some old novae) or strong-lined (E.W. ≃ 60 Å) and faint (MB > 7 like dwarf novae).
