Jim Morrison was born in Scotland in 1924 and completed his PhD studies in X-ray crystallography at the University of Glasgow before taking up a position with CSIRO in Melbourne in 1949. There he became expert in the construction and operation of mass spectrometers, mainly for the study of ion physics. In 1967, he became the Foundation Professor Physical Chemistry at the new La Trobe University in Melbourne where he continued his work in mass spectrometry but was also involved in university leadership that included a period as head of a residential college.Together with his students, he developed the use of compact, rapid-scanning quadrupole mass spectrometers, linking them in series to allow secondary studies (including photochemistry) of particular ions, but also taking advantage of the speed of the quadrupoles to link them to gas chromatographs for the study of mixtures of organic compounds. In all of this he was a pioneer in the use of computers with spectroscopic instruments. Internationally he was a recognized expert, speaking at conferences, establishing collaborations, and spending periods of leave at the University of Utah. After his retirement in 1990 he spent a long period as Emeritus Professor before his death in 2013.

Jim Morrison 于 1924 年出生于苏格兰，并在格拉斯哥大学完成了 X 射线晶体学博士学位研究，之后于 1949 年在墨尔本的 CSIRO 任职。在那里，他成为质谱仪构建和操作方面的专家，主要用于离子物理学的研究。1967 年，他成为墨尔本新拉筹伯大学物理化学基础教授，在那里他继续他的质谱工作，但也参与了大学领导工作，其中包括担任住宿学院院长的一段时间。与他的学生一起，他开发了紧凑型、快速扫描四极杆质谱仪的使用，将它们串联起来以允许对特定离子进行二次研究（包括光化学），但也利用四极杆的速度将它们连接到气相色谱仪，以研究有机化合物的混合物。在所有这些方面，他是将计算机与光谱仪器结合使用的先驱。在国际上，他是公认的专家，在会议上发言，建立合作关系，并在犹他大学休假。1990 年退休后，他在 2013 年去世前曾长期担任名誉教授。
