...discoveries, this one was made by accident. After exciting GFP-labeled plant cells at 405 nm instead of 488... GFP could be imaged in the green state after excitation at 488 nm, photoconverted with 405 nm light, ..., and then captured in the red state after excitation at 561 nm. This imaging process worked well with...S65T GFP, and no red color was observed after excitation at 488 nm, indicating that spontaneous conversion...
