Description
We present mid-IR observations taken with CanariCam at Gran Telescopio
Canarias of the quadruply lensed quasar QSO2237+0305. We have obtained
flux ratios between the four images that, unlike optical, near-IR and,
to a lesser extent, radio emission, are unaffected by the ISM
(extinction/scattering) or stellar microlensing. We are using these flux
ratios to obtain a mass model for the lensing galaxy and test for the
presence of CDM substructure. We also compare these ``true" ratios to
the (stellar) microlensed flux ratios observed in the optical/near-IR to
constrain the structure of the quasar accretion disk and the fraction of
the lens mass in stars as compared to dark matter.
