The ZEUS detector is one of two large general purpose detectors at the electron-proton colliding facility HERA located at DESY in Hamburg Germany. HERA provides collisions of 26.6 GeV electrons with 820 GeV protons, resulting in a center of mass energy an order of magnitude higher than previous fixed target electron scattering experiments. The kinematics at HERA allows the measurement of F2 in a region o f x ana Q2 phase space previously unexplored. A total integrated luminosity of 24.7 nb-1, collected during the fall of 1992, was used for the measurement of F2. The results reported here extend the measurement of F2 to lower values of x by two orders of magnitude. In the parton model the behavior of F2 at low x is highly dependent on the unknown gluon distribution and the absence of data leads to significantly different expectations of the neutral current cross sections at low x. A measurement of F2 at low x constrains the gluon distribution. The results show a strong rise at low x.
