[Histonet] Re: cardboard slide markers

Hazel Horn is >>looking for cardboard slide markers you use in slide filing 
cabinets when you remove slides to mark the space and indicate where the slides 
went.<<

You can make extremely durable slide filing cabinet markers by cutting 3.5 x 
1 inch strips (use a paper cutter) out of exposed developed (the blacker the 
better) X-ray film. The specimen radiograms your pathologists receive (or 
should receive!) with wire-localization breast biopsy specimens are a convenient 
source of film - but hurry, radiology departments are going digital in a hurry, 
and film will soon go the way of wet-tank developing (hey, I AM a geezer to 
remember that!).
