  • Raised menisci around small discs positioned to pull up a water-air interface provide a well controllable experimental setup capable of reproducing much of the rich phenomenology of gravitational lensing (or microlensing events) by $n$-body clusters. Results are shown for single, binary and triple mass lenses. The scheme represents a versatile testbench for the (astro)physics of general relativity's gravitational lens effects, including high multiplicity imaging of extended sources.
