Bifunctional nanospheres of silica encapsulating Fe3O4 and LaF3 : Eu nanoparticles were synthesized in a reverse microemulsion solution. The nanospheres were perfectly monodispersed with a small diameter of 20 nm. The composition of the bifunctional nanospheres was confirmed by powder X-ray diffraction. Their magnetic and luminescent properties were measured at room temperature. The relaxation efficiency and T2-weighted images showed the high-performance for the product as a resonance imaging contrast agent. In addition, a qualitative cell uptake in human cervical cancer HeLa cells demonstrated that the SFLE nanospheres were efficiently up-taken into cytosol. Taken together, these findings suggest that the SiO2 / Fe3O4 - LaF3 : Eu 3+ nanospheres are good luminescence probes for bio-imaging.
