As a result of this special combination, nanohybrid materials assemble numerous extraordinary features that provide great opportunities to improve their stability, multifunctions, biocom- patibility, eco-friendliness and other physical and mechanical properties. This review highlights recent re- search developments of functional organic-inorganic nanohybrid materials and their specific applications in bioimaging including fluorescent, Raman, photoacoustic and combined bioimaging. Future research directions and perspectives in this rapidly developing field are also discussed.展开更多
