Laser pulses of a finely focused beam were used to simulate micrometeorite impacts on lunar rocks and in lunar soil. The electron microscope pictures show the detailed effects so caused; it is possible to derive an estimate of the comparative amounts of erosion a given micrometeorite flux would cause in lunar rocks and lunar soil.
