Someone has asked me about using Green Fluorescent Protein for flow analysis

I'm not sure whether the puns are intentional or not.... but I'll pretend I
didn't notice them. There is a paper in Science 263:802(1994) by Chalfie et al
that shows GFP spectra. Excitation has a peak at 395nm with a shoulder at
470nm and fluorescence has a peak at 509nm with a shoulder at 540nm.
