Light‐induced molecular adsorption of proteins (LIMAP) allows for quantitative sub‐micrometer‐resolution printing of multiple biomolecules. Surface‐bound gradients are patterned within minutes over an entire glass cover‐slip. LIMAP is used to perform selective immuno‐assays, to dynamically control the adhesion of individual cells, and to achieve hierarchical co‐cultures instrumental for tissue engineering.
