Abstract
In this paper, I review some recent developments in the framework of gravitational lensing, mainly devoted to clusters of galaxies and large scale structures. Used as a powerfull tool in observational cosmology, gravitational lensing allows to assess both the questions of mass determination in clusters of galaxies and the study of background sources thanks to the magnification effect. Some cosmological implications will be reviewed.
