[Histonet] Marking Tissues with Eosin

[Rebecca E. Ashley]

I had a biopsy today that was nearly impossible to see on the sponges during embedding or in the block.  I've heard mention of marking these with eosin to make them easier to see.  Has anyone done this?  Or do you use some other type of marking dye for this purpose?
Thanks for your input!
