Used microlensing to learn about the granularity of the mass distribution in galaxies and therefore infer an absolute measurement of the dark matter and stellar content. This is a beautiful example of single-epoch microlensing applications. (A)

The lens and source models are similar to GravLens, but exploration of the parameter space proceeds differently, to cope with the more complex cluster systems. The options are manual iteration (for which a graphical interface is provided), and Markov Chain Monte Carlo sampling. Weak lensing data can also be included in a joint fit. (A)

Gravitational lensing on the cluster scale is readily observed in almost all of the most massive systems, provided the image resolution and depth are high enough. "Blind" imaging surveys have also been carried out, most notably using SDSS data. Describes the candidate selection and confirmation of 16 new cluster-scale lenses. (A)
