The basic ideas of gravitational microlensing are discussed. Particular attention is given to the use of a gravitational lens as a (non-standard) telescope, to probe the very small scale structure of extragalactic sources. The recovery of information from a gravitational lens telescope is discussed, as well as the unique contribution which can be made by imaging with a gravitational telescope.
