The optical nanoprobes with emissions in the second near‐infrared window (NIR‐II, 1000–1700 nm) show low tissue autofluorescence and photon scattering; therefore, they provide high spatial resolution and acceptable tissue penetration depth. These advantages make them appropriate for in vivo applicat...
