Gravitational Lensing vs Gravitational Microlensing

sfbsoccer25 · Apr 29, 2013

Just a matter of terminology, are gravitational lensing and gravitational microlensing the same phenomenon? I have always been under the impression that they were. Any help? Thanks!

there are different categories and techniques of gravitational lensing. Strong, weak and micro lensing. The methodology of usage differs in each case. However all 3 involve a gravitational lens.
