I like to use cervix with both endo- and ecto-cervix as the control. The
stratified squamous epithelium of the ectocervix contains a lot of glycogen
which will disappear with diastase, while the mucinous glands of the
endocervix will still stain PAS positive after the digestion. You have a
positive and negative control in the same section so to speak.
