| dc.description | I show how weak gravitational lensing can be used to image the 3-D mass distribution in the Universe. An inverse relation to the lensing equation, relating the lensing potential evaluated at each source to the full 3-D Newtonian potential, is derived. I consider the normal modes of the lensing problem and clarify the equations using a small-angle approximation. Finally I consider the prospects of using this method to estimate the 3-D matter distribution from a realistic galaxy lensing survey. | |
