RE: Help-pencil lead on slide

Monika:

Many, many years ago I worked at a hospital that used pencils to label
slides.  We had to use damp gauze to blot the area afterwards to remove the
excess lead to avoid the problems you mentioned.

I was wondering if someone had the same problems,the pencil lead on slides
everywhere even on tissue.This is very annoying. Currently we are using HB
pencils.
Any suggestions Please help.
