Super-resolution imaging techniques have become increasingly important tools to visualize suborganelle structures and dynamic processes in living cells on the nanoscale. However, the utility of these imaging techniques is currently limited by the availability of advanced fluorescent probes that enable the specific labeling of the organelle of interest and provide the absorption/emission properties required for super-resolution imaging techniques. Herein, LysoPB Yellow is presented as a new small-molecule fluorescent probe that can selectivity stain the lysosomal membrane. Its outstandingly high photostability and long fluorescence lifetime are beneficial for its use in super-resolution stimulated emission depletion (STED) microscopy. A lysosomal membrane stained with LysoPB Yellow was successfully visualized by STED imaging in living cells with a full width at half maximum (FWHM) of 70 nm, which is substantially below the diffraction limit of light. Additionally, LysoPB Yellow displayed excellent retention ability and negligible cytotoxicity. Consequently, long-term time-lapse confocal imaging of living cells was successfully conducted, which demonstrates the practical utility of LysoPB Yellow in fluorescence imaging.
