Highly fluorescent polymeric nanofibers fabricated via electrospinning of PCL‐DPP‐PCL (photostable polycaprolactones–di(thiophene‐2‐yl)‐diketopyrrolopyrrole–photostable polycaprolactones) and commercial PCL mixture show superior photostability and cytocompatibility for long‐term tracking of cell–substrate interaction. As a proof of concept, these PCL‐DPP‐PCL nanofibers enable clear visualization of intricate cell–substrate interactions such as oligodendrocyte myelination.
