Invited for this month's cover are the collaborating groups of Dr. Thomas Just Sørensen at the University of Copenhagen, Denmark and Dr. Robert Pal at Durham University, United Kingdom. The front cover shows the clouds parting for a cell imaged using a thioxanthone‐appended Eu III complex. This work shows that lanthanide luminescence can be used in optical bioimaging with microscopes equipped with the common blue laser line. Read the full text of the article at 10.1002/cplu.201900309.
