Resumen:
Recent work on low surface brightness (LSB) dwarf galaxies is reviewed, particularly, the use of the surface brightness profiles of dwarf elliptical (dE) galaxies in nearby clusters of
galaxies as a distance indicator. The use of the Gemini telescopes to study the existence of a fundamental plane for dEs is proposed.The stellar populations in dEs' nuclei, and the possible relationship between nucleated dE galaxies and the population of "blue" globular clusters associated with central galaxies in clusters (eg. NGC1399, in Fornax) are also discussed.
