INTRODUCTION
FIONA, short for fluorescence imaging with one-nanometer accuracy, is a simple method for achieving localization of single (or single groups of) fluorophores with nanometer accuracy in the xy plane. This protocol provides details on constructing an inexpensive sample chamber for use in single-molecule FIONA experiments and two methods for cleaning slides and coverslips.
