Fluorescence imaging in the second near‐infrared window (NIR‐II, 1000–1700 nm) holds great promise for deep tissue visualization. Development of novel clinical translatable NIR‐II probes is crucial for realizing the medical applications of NIR‐II fluorescence imaging. Herein, the glutathione‐capped...
