1,1,3,3,3,3-Hexamethylindodicarbocyanine iodide is used to dye membranes but will also dye other hydrophobic structures. It is a environment-sensitive dye that is weakly fluorescent in water. 1,1,3,3,3,3-Hexamethylindodicarbocyanine iodide exhibits orange fluorescence and can be used with FITC and TRITC filters respectively. 1,1,3,3,3,3-Hexamethylindodicarbocyanine iodide is a fluorescent probe called DilC1, designed specifically to identify disturbances in mitochondrial membrane potential. By localizing within mitochondria, its fluorescence intensity diminishes when there is disruption in the mitochondrial membrane potential.
