- Images form at extrema of the arrival time surface
(i.e. Fermat's principle). At saddle points, images have negative
and at minima/maxima, they have positive parity. In quadruply-imaged
system one observes two saddle point images, and two minima. The fifth
image is a maximum, too faint to be observed.
