Looking at the ultra deep field view from the Hubble as shown here:

http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/astro/deepfield.html#c1

Just by observing this picture is not evident the effect in the apparent angular size expected from redshifts z of about 1.65.(According to the L-CDM model the angular size should start increasing from z about 1.6) since we are supposed to be looking to galaxies that reach redshifts as high as a z of 7-8 I guess the smallest objects that are observed with the highest redshifts we actually see with an apparent size much bigger than they really have and therefore they really must be tiny galaxies in reality, or am I missing something here?

Thanks

This is really interesting and it's amazing to think that we can look so far into space and see galaxies that are so far away. It seems like the redshifts of these galaxies would play an important role in our understanding of them, so it's good to know that we can use the Hubble to observe them and get a better idea of what they look like.
