The cover picture shows terbium‐doped LaF 3 nanoparticles that are surface functionalized by photon‐harvesting antenna ligands. Surface capping with antenna ligands leads to ultrabright nanoparticles, with the typical green luminescence signature of the Tb atoms and very long excited state lifetimes. The nanoparticles were shown by luminescence microscopy to internalize into HeLa cells and localize to the lysosomes. Details are given in the Full Paper by Loïc J. Charbonnière and Ka‐Leung Wong et al. on page 526 in Issue 6, 2016 (DOI: 10.1002/cplu.201600007).
