Cleanly separated by two photons : The design and photophysical characterization of a new highly stable macrocyclic ytterbium complex featuring a two‐photon antenna ligand is described (see picture). The biphotonic sensitization of the near‐infrared ytterbium(III) luminescence and the conception of an unconventional near‐infrared biphotonic microscope allow performing in‐depth imaging of thick tissues.
