Abstract
Walter W. Stewart discovered and synthesized the fluorescent dye, Lucifer yellow, based on the commercial dye, brilliant sulphoflavine (Stewart 1978, 1981). Lucifer yellow has since become the most popular and widely used intracellular marker, largely replacing its forerunner, Procion yellow 4RAN, for identifying physiologically recorded neurons.
