= Time-delay distance
{title2=$D_{\Delta t}=(1+z_l)D_lD_s/D_{ls}$}

The distance combination $D_{\Delta t}=(1+z_l)D_lD_s/D_{ls}$ converts a dimensionless thin-lens delay difference into an observed time delay. Inference from a variable lensed source also requires a mass model and control of external convergence.
