They do ok in non polar environments I believe. Others may have better suggestions.

To join, leave or search the confocal microscopy listserv, go to: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?A0=confocalmicroscopy Post images on http://www.imgur.com and include the link in your posting. ***** consider using Oil Red O http://www.sigmaaldrich.com/catalog/search?interface=All&term=oil+red+o&lang=en®ion=US&N=0+220003048&focus=product You probably do not need to use ultra-pure stuff, so could save some money by going with not-so-pure products. See also google search: fluorescent dye mineral oil https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=fluorescent+dye+mineral+oil One of the hits sells by the gallon: http://www.riskreactor.com/fluorescent-dye-tracers/auto-car-black-light-dyes/1-gal-oiltracerc8-petroleum-and-mineral-oil-uv-tracer/ and has more sections http://www.riskreactor.com/fluorescent-dye-tracers/ See also the OIL-GLO series at http://www.spectroline.com/fluorescent-dyes-industrial PDf helpfully includes English and metric units: • Several Sizes — Choose from 8 oz (237 ml), pint (473 ml) or quart (946 ml) bottles as well as gallon (3.8 L) containers. Larger sizes also available. If any of these are highly photostable, please let me (and the listserv) know - could make nice microscope performance test reagents (no evaporation?) re: concurrent thread. enjoy, George p.s. I am a big fan of DiI (Sigma-Alrdich's lowest purity grade) for labeling blood vessels (aka "vessel painting"), see https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=24052350 Price wise, probably more expensive than Oil Red O or by-the gallon (or liters) oil tracers.
