You can buy a fluorescent beta galactosidase, in other words the endproduct
from LacZ and beta galactosidase will be fluorescent.  Molecular Probes at
www.probes.com.   

If you do an anti Beta Gal antibody staining, the secondary can be labeled
with a fluorophore. ABCAM has antibeta galatosidase, Jackson has a full
array of secondary antibodies conjugated to flourochromes, or biotinylated
in order to do labeled strepavidin (either HRP or alk phos) for light
microscopy.    

Molecular Probes also has fluorescent antibodies, but not used them but
these are labeled with the elegant and wonderful Alexa flourochromes (Alexa
488 equal to FITC, Alexa 546 equal to Rhodamine that resist photobleaching,
clean, and much brighter than FITC or TRITC).
