Gravitational Lensing as a Cosmological Probe

Gravitational Lensing is an efficient tool to probe: the mass distribution of collapsed systems: galaxies and clusters; high redshift objects thanks to the gravitational amplification; and the geometry of the Universe. I will review here some important aspects of lensing and related issues in observational cosmology.
