For the first time optical colour-magnitude diagrams
of the faint bulge globular
clusters Terzan 10, ESO
38 and UKS 1 are presented.
The giant branches are clearly detected, but
deeper photometries are necessary to reach
the horizontal
branches and fainter sequences. This could be achieved
by using larger ground-based telescopes or the Hubble
Space Telescope, especially in the infrared.
The three clusters are located in the near side of the Galaxy, and such conclusion has been systematically obtained in recent studies of other central bulge clusters (e.g. Terzan 5 and Terzan 6, Ortolani et al. 1996b; Barbuy et al. 1997 and references therein).
