We present a detailed view of a galaxy at 
which is part of a
large database of intermediate redshifts using high resolution images. We used the
STIS parallel images and spectra to identify the object and obtain
the redshift. The high resolution STIS image (0.05'') enabled us to analyse the
internal structures of this galaxy. A bar along the major axis and hot-spots of
star formation separated by 0.37'' (1.6 kpc) are found along the inner region
of the galaxy. The analysis of the morphology of faint galaxies like this one is an
important step towards estimating the epoch of formation of the Hubble classification
sequence.
