Like Swiss cheese: The fabrication of PEG‐modified FITC‐labeled magnetic mesoporous silica nanoparticles (F‐M‐MSN) with three different pore sizes is described (see picture). Based on molecular confinement, the effect of pore size on their dual‐modal imaging and drug delivery properties is explored.
