CdTe/CdS/ZnS corre‐shell‐shell (CSS) quantum dots (QDs) are synthesized in the aqueous phase assisted by microwave irradiation. As‐prepared CSS QDs are suitable novel fluorescent probes in biological applications because of their outstanding aqueous dispersibility, good spectral properties, excellent photostability, and favorable biocompatibility.
