A colleague is trying to look at cholesterol in cells using Filipin III.  I
have seen several papers describing it's excitation wavelength, but they are
very vague on where it emits.  They seem to say that it's possible to excite
at 325, 355 and 488nm, but I've tried both UV and Argon Ion lasers and
several filters varying from 420nm to 585nm, with no luck.

Any information on this reagent would be appreciated.
