We have obtained long-slit low resolution spectra (7.5 A resolution) of a sample of 13 low surface brightness planetary nebulae using the 2.5-m Isaac Newton Telescope (La Palma) with the Image Photon Counting System (IPCS) covering a spectral range from 3300 A to 7300 A. From those spectra we calculated the ionic and total abundances of 0, N, Ne and Ar. Variations in the ionization structure between the inner and the outer part are found in some nebulae although the total abundances appear not to change significantly along the nebulae.
