The funny thing is that Bangs list, in their spectra, "Far out red"
which seems to be exactly the colour you want - but they don't seem to
offer many (any?) actual beads with this dye.

We do use these but for certain applications we need single color beads.
Also the TetraSpecks are not quite as bright but it may be all we can do
right now.

 What about 0.1 micrometer TetraSpeck beads from Molecular Probes? They
are about 110 +/- 6 nm in size (might depend on the batch) and light up
in all channels inclusive the far red. However they seem to loose their
fluorescence over time and are useless after a month or so.

best wishes

Andreas
