Abstract

The most favourable methods of observing the phenomenon of gravitational lensing are through high-amplification events and the time delay between the images. These effects provide us with the information to determine the Hubble parameter and the matter distribution in the universe. The image properties due to micro-lensing can be used to find the size and structure of the source.
