Abstract • We discuss the weak-field limit of induced gravity and show that results directly depend on the coupling and self-interaction potential of the scalar field. A static spherically symmetric exact solution is found and its conformal properties are studied. As an application, it is shown that the light deflection angle and the microlensing quantities can be parametrized by the coupling of the theory.
