[Histonet] India ink

[Cheryl Crowder]

Recently I needed to mark some previously fixed and decaled bones.  I had 
neither tattoo ink or India ink.  As an alternative, I rinsed the tissue, 
blotted it dry and marked the surface with a fine point cassette/slide 
marker.  I use both StatLab and Leica.  It worked like a charm.  Because the 
ink  is permanent there was no problem losing it during processing and the 
fine points left just small dots.  The only thing is that the tissues should 
be blotted well as moisture seems to cause a little bleeding.
