Scientific paper

We present the results of an isophotal shape analysis of a sample of 91 early-type galaxies belonging to the Perseus Cluster, using CCD R and V images obtained in very good seeing conditions. This survey uncovers fine details in the structure of a large percentage of these objects, including disks, bars and even spiral arms, so that a large variety of morphological types is proposed. A very conservative upper limit for the percentage of galaxies of the whole sample showing no deviations from ellipticity is given to be 20 percent. A lower limit for the detection of bars among galaxies newly classified as S0's or spirals is about 30 percent.
