Usage

General Description

1,1'-DIETHYL-2,2'-CARBOCYANINE BROMIDE, also known as DiI, is a lipophilic carbocyanine dye that is commonly used for neuronal labeling and tracing. It is fluorescent under appropriate excitation, making it a valuable tool for studying the morphology and connectivity of neurons in live and fixed tissues. DiI is particularly useful for visualizing long-range projections and axonal pathways in the nervous system. It is also used in various imaging techniques, such as confocal and multiphoton microscopy, to study neuronal development and plasticity. Additionally, DiI is known for its photostability and high signal-to-noise ratio, making it a reliable and versatile tool for neurobiological research.
