A recognized problem when searching for primeval galaxies at cosmological distances is a definition of a firm selection criterion (alternative to a direct but extremely time-demanding measure of z) to single out high-redshift candidates from the plethora of other more or less peculiar objects (i.e. AGN, starburst galaxies etc.) at lower distances.

The case of the HST “Deep Field” (HDF) observations (Williams et al. 1996) is especially relevant in this regard as galaxies up to z = 3.2 have been detected in the field (Steidel et al. 1996).
