A brief history of fluorescence and phosphorescence

1565 N. Monardes Emission of light by an infusion of wood Lignum Nephriticum (first reported observation of fluorescence) [Pg.5]

1640 Licetus Study of Bolognese stone. First definition as a non-thermal light emission [Pg.5]

1833 D. Brewster Emission of light by chlorophyll solutions and fluorspar crystals [Pg.5]

1845 J. Herschel Emission of light by quinine sulfate solutions (epipolic dispersion) [Pg.5]

It is worth giving a brief account of the early stages in the history of fluorescence and phosphorescence (Table 1.2), paying special attention to the origin of these terms. [Pg.5]
