Gravitatinoal lensing by massive clusters of galaxies offers a very powerful and yet cheap means to improve the sensitivity of a given telescope/instrument combination. The use of gravitational lensing is especially powerful in the infrared wavelengths because cluster cores are dominated by early-type galaxies, which usually emit very little in the infrared. Therefore, infrared sources detected in cluster cores are almost always background sources. Here, we propose to conduct a MIPS 24 μm snapshot survey of massive galaxy clusters with the goal of more of such stongly-lensed high-redshift galaxies. We will also study infrared-luminous brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs). This survey should be able to supply many interesting targets to follow up with SCUBA2, Herschel, and ALMA.
