Default Gravitational Lensing and the search for Dark Matter

Can someone point me to a good explanation of this method ? I.e. by
analysing lensing effects in a galaxy cluster, it is possible to map
the distribution of DM within the cluster, and presumably also to
estimate the amount of DM present in the cluster.

Thanks,
AM
