Fluorescent optical probes have been intensively used in the area of bio‐imaging. In this review article, we describe the recent advancements in the synthesis and application of bimodal magnetic–fluorescent probes for bioimaging. The bimodal probes consist of fluorescent [semiconducting quantum dots (e.g., CdSe/ZnS) or rare‐earth doped (e.g., NaYF 4 :Yb,Er)] nanoparticles (NPs) and magnetic (iron oxide or gadolinium based) NPs for optical and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging.
