Light-harvesting antennas and efficient energy transfer enable photosynthesis in low light conditions in natural systems. Here the authors resolve exciton properties and the role of structural hierarchy in a model light-harvesting complex by excited-state 2D spectroscopy on a microfluidic platform.
