Picture this! A photoimage written in a reactive polymer with UV light is transferred into CaCO 3 crystal morphologies (see picture). The CaCO 3 crystal films with microscopic regular relief structures and flat surfaces are self‐organized on the nonirradiated and UV‐irradiated areas of the polymer matrix, respectively.
