Abstract
During the last two years we have completed an extensive project of direct CCD imaging with the Palomar 200 inch Four-shooter on several milliJansky and microJansky radio samples, now totaling 200 sources. The purpose is to study the nature and redshift distribution of the radio galaxies that cause the upturn in the milliJansky source counts (WMOKK) and to search for candidates of primeval radio galaxies.Keywords
