Abstract We designed a lysosome-selective Raman probe by conjugating bisphenylbutadiyne with morpholine, a well-known lysosome targeting moiety. This probe, named Lyso-BADY, has a Raman peak 28 times more intense than that of 5-ethynyl-2′-deoxyuridine. Lysosome in living cells was successfully visualized by hyperspectral stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) microscopy with this extracellular probe. Further study showed that the Raman signal of Lyso-BADY remained steady and strong even after a prolonged irradiation time. The photo-stability feature of Lyso-BADY rendered molecules of the similar structure as potentially versatile probe for continuous imaging in the future
