[Histonet] Slide marking pens

[Breeden, Sara]

I hate pencil and refuse to use them!  They smear and blur more than any
"specialized" histo slide/cassette markers!  I just replied to a
separate post saying that as long as your NBF is not "old" (like more
than a couple days) and that you let the cassette sit for a minute or
two before you drop it into solution to make sure it's ink is completely
dry, I've not had any problems.  Besides, I think every pen manufactured
for our use has an "off day" because I've seen every brand have an
occasional glitch.  Not that this is a good thing, but it seems to be
universal.  Has something to do with the phase of the moon and what
color socks you're wearing.  May the Force be with you...
