Multimodal bioimaging is beneficial for clinical diagnosis and research due to the provision of comprehensive diagnostic information. However, the design of multifunctional bio-probes aggregating multiple bioimaging functions is greatly challenging. In this study, a multifunctional bio-probe based on lanthanide-based nanomaterials Sr(2)GdF(7): Yb(3+)/Er(3+)/Tm(3+)(abbreviated as SGF) was developed forin vivomultimodal imaging by co-adopting apropos lanthanides and tuning their molar ratio. The experimental results indicate that SGF incorporates multiple excellent properties, such as 10 nm smal...
