Abstract
We present the results of a deep CCD-based IZ photometric survey of a simil ar to 1 deg(2) area in the central region of the Pleiades Galactic open clu ster. The magnitude coverage of our survey (from I similar to 17.5 down to 22) allows us to detect substellar candidates with masses between 0.075 and 0.03 M.. Details of the photometric reduction and selection criteria are g iven. Finder charts prepared from the I-band images are provided.
