The Galileo spacecraft observations reveal the inner moons of Jupiter as sources for the Jovian ring. Therefore, the question of existence and nature of regolith on the surface of these moons should paid more attention. We present the first results of an attempt to observe the opposition surge of these satellites with the 2-m Zeiss RCC telescope of the Terskol Observatory in October and November 1999. Images of Amalthea, Thebe, and Metis were acquired at solar phase angles from --3.3 to +2.5 degrees. We present the results of the analysis of about 50 images obtained in the methane absorption band and provide absolutely calibrated magnitudes for these three satellites at small solar phase angles.
