Fluorescent nanoparticles have been synthesized with a metal core, silica‐spacer shell, and a dye‐labeled silica shell. Cascade‐yellow‐labeled, silver‐core and carboxyfluorescein‐labeled, gold‐core nanoparticles with dye–metal distances of 24–25 nm exhibit fluorescence enhancement factors as high as 12.5 and 6.8, respectively. Cascade‐yellow‐labeled, gold‐core particles with a dye–metal distance of ∼15 nm show significant fluorescence quenching.
