Abstract
The gravitational lensing of faint background galaxies by rich clusters is emerging as a very efficient method both to constrain the mass distribution of clusters of galaxies and to probe the statistical properties of faint background galaxies. We review results concerning the cores of cluster lenses, where recent Hubble Space Telescope (HST) images are giving new insights into the gravitational distortion phenomena.Keywords
