 Assuming that you're using Nile red as a fluorochrome:

 Greenspan & Fowler 1985 J. Lipid Res. 26: 781-789.
 Greenspan, Mayer & Fowler 1985 J. Cell Biol. 100: 965-973.
 Fowler & Greenspan 1985 J. Histochem. Cytochem. 33: 833-836.

 The second two (the 3rd especially) will probably be the
 most helpful to you.
