Scientific paper

We examine the gravitational lensing effect of a foreground galaxy cluster on
the number count statistics of background X-ray sources. The lensing produces a
deficit in the number of resolved sources in a ring close to the critical
radius of the cluster. This deficit could be detected at the $\sim 3\sigma$
level with the AXAF-ACIS camera.
