Microlensing observations of the Q0957+561 A,B have consistently shown evidence for structure in the quasar that has not been evident in available microlensing models, where the luminous source has been consistently modeled as a single large round structure. We show that the microlensing features can easily be reproduced by a luminous quasar model motivated by observations; a luminous inner accretion disc edge and outer ring-shaped structures where the emission lines form. Such a model can explain all of the features known from 24 years of Q0957 microlensing observations.
