Searches of low-mass stars have become possible in globular clusters, and the first results suggest that the mass function turns up below ∼ 0.4 M (Fahlman et al. 1989; Richer et al., 1990; Richer et al. 1991; G. Piotto, these proceedings). This conclusion is independently supported by the non-parametric dynamical analysis of four clusters by Gebhardt and Fisher 1995.
