BODIPY 493/503, a lipophilic fluorescence dye, emits bright green fluorescence has been used extensively for lipid droplet labeling (Ex/Em: 493/503 nm) [1,2]. BODIPY 493/503 is compatible with epifluorescent, confocal, and two-photon microscopy, as well as flow cytometry, and can be used for live and fixed cell applications.
