Re: smudges

From:Jan Shivers

I have had that happen when ... a) the slide has not been completely
deparaffinized, and... b) when the tissue has not been adequately rinsed
with buffer or blown clear between steps (when using an automatic stainer,
especially on slides that have been proteinase-digested).
