Nonspherical colloidosomes with multiple compartments are generated using water‐in‐oil‐in‐water double emulsions with controlled morphology as templates (see image). Double emulsions are prepared using a glass capillary microfluidic device that provides a precise means to control the number of internal aqueous droplets and the volume ratio of oil and aqueous phases.
