It's pretty easy, I just physically mixed physarum and concentrated fluorescent particles (about 500nm diameter or even much bigger ones are ok), and then cultured overnight. Some parts of physarum would grow, although most of them seems to be dead.
I used fluorescent microscope to observe the flow inside the cell, but I guess you might want to use Simon's way to colour slime using UV light...
