Glowing fish: Fluorescentorganicnanoparticles (FONs) were prepared from pyrene‐containing guanine analogues. FONs are able to penetrate into human cells and zebrafish embryos; they are nontoxic, biocompatible and were found to be specific for muscular tissues. This study demonstrates for the first time the possibility of using FONs for in vivo, whole‐body, fluorescence imaging of zebrafish.
