The foreground lens galaxy causes multiple imaging, leading to 2 or 4 lensed light curves that are offset from the intrinsic light curve (and each other) in both amplitude (due to magnification), and time.  \item  Time-dependent amplitude fluctuations due to microlensing by stars in the lens galaxy  are generated \emph{on top of} (and \emph{independently} for) each light curve by microlensing by stars in the lens galaxy. curve.  \item  The delayed and microlensed light curves are sparsely, but simultaneously, ``sampled'' at the observational epochs, with the measurements adding noise.
