Abstract HST will be able to reveal the morphologies and UV properties of the general galaxy population at cosmological distances. This data is fundamental to our understanding of galaxy evolution, it is inaccessible from the ground, and will convincingly descriminate between the current models of evolution. Although this data is essential for settling the major questions about evolution it has not yet been forthcoming from the HST. By targeting our deepest redshift survey we can immediately relate the precious high resolution image information to redshift. The aim of this proposal is to establish the general morphologies and the frequency of interacation at =0.5 from the images in the I band, and to use UV images to derive the redshift dependence of star formation and its location in galaxies. Our redshift survey is complete to B=24 for 142 galaxies with 0.2
