Abstract
We investigate the effect of gravitational lensing, produced by linear density perturbations, for anisotropies of the Cosmic Background Radiation (CBR) on scales of arcminutes. In calculations, a flat universe () and the Harrison-Zel'dovich spectrum () are assumed. The numerical results show that on scales of a few arcminutes, gravitational lensing produces only negligible anisotropies in the temperature of the CBR. Our conclusion disagrees with that of Cay\'{o}n {\it et al.} who argue that the amplification of on scales may even be larger than 100\%.
