Scientific paper

It is shown that indirect optical methods (star and galaxy counts) can in some circumstances be used to study low surface brightness regions at fainter levels than can be achieved by direct surface photometry. Results to be expected with a 4-m plate, a ground-based CCD frame, and a Space Telescope Faint Object Camera frame are considered. The effects of galaxy clustering on galaxy counts are treated.
