Nile red and Nile blue are highly fluorescent and photostable organic dyes from the benzo[a]phenoxazine family. They have been used as histological stains for imaging lysosomes and lipids in vitro. The dyes’ high quantum yields and solvent-dependent optical properties make them ideal scaffolds for the development of pH probes and local polarity indicators.
