Disclosed are a fluorescent dye, a preparation method and an application thereof. The fluorescent dye has a structure of formula (I), where X and Y are independently selected from O, S, C(CH3)2 and NR6; R2 and R3 are independently hydrogen or a functional group: R1, R4, R5 and R6 are independently selected from functional groups; and Z− is a negative ion. The fluorescent dye has an ability to permeate the living cell membrane, so that it can be used in the fluorescence imaging of living cell microstructures, and can also be used in the STED super-resolution fluorescence imaging and laser scanning confocal microscopy of live cells. |
