DiI, DiO, DiD and DiR dyes are a family of lipophilic fluorescent stains for labeling membranes. The fluorescence of these environment-sensitive dyes is greatly enhanced when incorporated into membranes or bound to lipophilic biomolecules such as proteins. They are weakly fluorescent in water but highly fluorescent and quite photostable when incorporated into membranes
