Globular cluster systems (GCSs) have been observed in 17 elliptical galaxies located in Coma. Surface brightness fluctuations (SBF) and a 2.5-m ground-based telescope (INT, La Palma) have been used to determine total populations of Globular clusters (GCs) and specific frequency (SN) has been evaluated for each individual galaxy.
