Papers on Raman and soft X-ray spectroscopy of lunar glasses and electron microscopy of lunar fines are presented. Individual particles of glasses from Apollo 11, 12, 14, and 15 samples were analyzed separately. Silicon emission shifts vary between parent rock types and can be interpreted as a range of Si-O distances from 1.612 to 1.637 A. Aluminum emission shifts relate to the amount of 4- and 6-coordinated Al in the glass. Raman spectra show broadened bands. Certain bands recur in many specimens and relate to the main normative minerals for the glass bulk composition, olivine, pyroxene, and anorthite. Quantitative size and shape analyses were carried out on six Apollo 14 and 15 samples of fines by computer evaluation of scanning electron microspace images. For the size range of 0.50 to 30 micron diameter, the distributions are log-normal on a number count basis. Aspect ratios range from 0.1 to 1.0 with an average value of about 0.6. The aspect ratios and a shape complexity factor vary only slightly among the samples.
