Photostable organic dyes are highly demanded for longtime or super‐resolution bioimaging. Herein, we demonstrate effective improvement of photostability of a coumarin dye (Pacific Blue (PB)) by steric protection using a cyclodextrin. ThePBconjugated cyclodextrin (PB−CD) showed 2.8 times higher photostability than PB ethyl amide (PB−EA) which is a comparative compound in vitro. The cyclodextrin conjugation toPBnot only protectPBunit from reactive chemicals, but also suppress reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation which causes dye degradation. The effects afford significant improvement of photostability ofPBdye. Finally, the photostability ofPB−CDwas evaluated using confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) and the significant improvement effect was proofed even in living cells.
