This image from Oriana Ines Avila Salas and colleagues shows three‐dimensional confocal fluorescence micrographs of polymeric microstructures doped with the conjugated polymer PPV. The microstructures were fabricated by means of femtosecond laser writing via two‐photon polymerization. The PPV precursor (PTHT) is incorporated into the prepolymer resin and, after fabrication, it is converted to PPV through a thermal treatment. As opposed to researchers' previous works, this methodology stands for PTHT to PPV conversion in three dimensions, thus presenting a novel approach toward the fabrication of polymer‐based optoelectronics on page 479.
