Mark, <br>

I use a diamond pencil to ring sections for
immunofluorescence. Obviously have no problem with the nibs drying out
<b>:) </b> the substance used in the PAP pen will auto-fluoresce. <br>

I am interested in other peoples' methods of "ringing" sections
for<br>
immunocytochemistry. Since the demise of the Dako PAP pens, we
are<br>
experiencing problems with other such pens, particularly when the
nibs<br>
get wet (NB: the slides in question are frozen sections stored at
-70oC<br>
and are difficult to mark). Any info or remarks would be
gladly<br>
received.<br>
