GFP Fluorescence Edit
I made an edit for scientific accuracy because green fluorescent protein (GFP) glows green under blue light as well as under ultraviolet light.

This is supported by the article that is cited which says "under illumination with the 360–400 nm spectrum of light that excites GFP fluorescence" which corresponds to ultraviolet light.

I don't believe that my edit would constitute a unit conversion&mdash;or at least, not one that is valid under WP:SYNTH&mdash;hence why I provided a citation. Overall, the citations for that line could be tidied up, but I think the best fix would be a single source that encompasses both the primary source and covers the range of light.

Spamming Wikipedia
Biologicalworld.com has spammed wikipedia like no tomorrow. It is a site of only a few pages and a LOT of adsense. Not much information is given except for "protocols" which are not referenced, and cannot be trusted from a site of that quality.
