Abstract
Early observations identified MG 0414+0534 as a gravitational lens can didate: it displayed a three-component morphology, with the suggestion that one of the components was actually an unresolved pair. Higher re solution radio observations reported here confirm the existence of the pair and give a measurement of the angular separation of the componen ts. We show that MG 0414+0534 exhibits properties characteristic of a simple gravitational lens system, including its morphology and the sim ilar spectral indices of the different components.
