In continuation of an earlier investigation (Greve and van Genderen, 1977), VBLUW photometric data are given for four Galactic SNR, two SNR of the SMC, four SNR of the LMC, and seven emission nebulae of the LMC. The calibration of the VBLUW system (Lub et al., 1979) allows the derivation of absolute fluxes in the filter passbands which in combination with emission line ratios allows the derivation of surface intensities of H-beta, and H-alpha. The H-beta intensities are interpreted with the shock-wave theory which gives the pre-shock densities of the interstellar medium of the Galaxy, SMC and LMC. The densities derived for the LMC agree with the values obtained by Dopita (1979); the densities confirm the model of the optical emission originating in higher density cloudlets embedded in a tenuous medium.
