Proteins have been used to construct biocompatible microdevices by using maskless femtosecond laser direct writing. In their Communication on page 1558 ff., W. F. Dong, H. B. Sun, and co‐workers report their strategy to produce microlenses from bovine serum albumin. The microlenses have controllable geometry as well as excellent imaging performance, and the focal length can be dynamically tuned by changing the pH of the surrounding solution.
