A water‐soluble organic/inorganic hybrid nanodot based on polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) and conjugated oligoelectrolyte is designed and synthesized for two‐photon fluorescence imaging of cellular nucleus, which takes advantage of its small size (∼3.3 nm) that imparts nucleus permeability and substantial DNA‐enhanced two‐photon excited fluorescence that allows illuminating the nucleus with a high contrast.
