Merrill, Robert

Merrill and Roberts (Z) have examined both PET films and fibers and have attributed the fluorescence (excitation 342 nm, fmision 388 nm) to a 1(n,n ) transition. They have proposed a (n,ir ) transition, since the observed fluorescence is at lower energy than the observed phosphorescence (excitation 313 nm, emission 452 nm, 1.2 sec), which they have proposed from a (tt,tt ) state. 

Subsequently, we reported the same experimental data as Merrill and Roberts but we have attributed the fluorescence to a (ir,ir ) transition rather than a (n,ir ) transition. We also pointed out that.the (n, ir ) state of PET is probably at higher energy than the 1 (tt.tt ) state Figure 2). We attributed the red shift in the fluorescence excitation and emission to aggregates of monomeric units fixed in specific geometry in the polymer matrix.

Later, Robert Merrill from the University of Chicago joined my group. He was an expert in mathematics and statistics. He played an important role in our interpretation of data, and sometimes he joined us in the field work.

In 1948, Robert Reid Newell of Stanford University proposed that the name be changed to nuclear medicine. Radiologists, including David Kuhl and Merrill Bender, played an important role in the early days of nuclear medicine, so there was an emphasis on body structure. Radioisotope scanning was defined as visualizing organs and lesions not visible on conventional x-rays.
