Multicompartmental microcylinders can be produced by a combination of electrohydrodynamic co‐spinning and microsectioning, as described by J. Lahann et al. in their Communication on page 4589 ff. The number of individual compartments, relative compartment orientation, chemical composition and functionality, and aspect ratio can be precisely tuned. Each color in the longitudinal and cross‐sectional micrograph images depicts an individual compartment.
