Camilla,

there is a rather large body of literature on FISH in interphase nuclei.
If you search Pubmed for contributions by the groups of Wendy Bickmore,
Thomas Cremer, or Tom Misteli, this would be a good starting point.
There are also several papers or protocols on 'how-to' or 'how not to', eg.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18951171

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16954680

and maybe one of my own:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17119992


'Back in the days', I always used non-commercial, nick-translation
labeled probes. I would assume this may have changed in the mean time, I
am currently not working in this field. Whether you are using a BAC
clone or a chromosome paint as probe does not make a principal
difference. you just need more DNA for the latter.
