Abstract
Microstructures were fabricated on optical imaging fibers with a photo polymerization technique. Monodisperse polymeric microarrays were prod uced containing spots of 2.5 micrometers in diameter spaced 4.5 microm eters apart. Polymer microarrays were also deposited on other substrat es by using imaging fibers for light delivery. The technique allows mi crometer-scale photopatterning with masks larger than the desired dime nsions.
