Transparent nanopatterned plastic substrates are prepared by molding a photopolymer inside nanoporous ordered anodic alumina and subsequently etching away the mold. The array of glass‐supported, index‐matched nanopillars is ordered over a large area. They can serve as a platform for studying the interaction of living cells with nanotopography (see image) using quantitative optical microscopy.
