[Histonet] new fluorescent dyes

[Adam .]

I've tried Dylight 488, Dylight 594, and Dylight 649. They all seem to be
pretty bright and don't seem to photobleach much over the course of my
experiments. The longest I've looked for signal is about 2 months after the
slides were stored in a dark area, and they seem to retain most of their
brightness. I've never compared them to the AlexaFluors though, but I'm
pretty happy with them.
