We demonstrate simultaneous spatial and spectral subtraction-based super-resolution microscopy based on photobleaching, photoblinking, or photoactivation in multichromophoric systems to detail the characteristics of individual emitters in small aggregates isolated and immobilized in polymeric films. In particular, we investigate the prototypical multichromophoric electron-donating system poly[2-methoxy-5-(2-ethylhexyloxy)-1,4-phenylenevinylene] (MEH-PPV) and electron-accepting N,N'-dipentyl-3,4,9,10-perylenedicarboximide (pPDI) molecules prepared as small aggregates via tandem analysis of spatial and spectral information of individual emitters within a diffraction-limited spot. In MEH-PPV aggregates, this approach reveals evidence of both chain-limited and domain-limited exciton migration as well as preferential photodegradation of regions with a high number of intermolecular contacts. In small aggregates of pPDI, evidence of individual subunits with distinct spectral characteristics and electronic coupling properties is found.
