Planetary nebulae observed in our Milky Way galaxy and in the galaxies of the Local Group do impress us for their morphologies and complexities. But when we look at planetary nebulae outside the Local Group, all this must be forgotten, as they become unresolved and merely points of green light. This paper will review how these green spots of light can be used as probes of the mass distribution and dynamics of elliptical galaxies and nearby clusters.
