to mention that writing these small numbers leads to extreme Carpal
tunnel """PAIN and unnecessary SUFFERING""""Progress makes for neater
work plus keeps histotechs healther!!!!!! Sense there is already a

We use "SHUR/Mark TBS (item #9023)"  from BBC (1-800-635-4477).  Unlike the
regular SHUR/Mark pens, these last for months (not days) and have
replaceable tips.  We have not had any problems with the ink washing off
either the cassettes or the slides.  Call them up and they will send you a
free sample.  Once you use them, you will probably never go back to the
other markers or pencils.  If you need more info, let me know.
