Jerry,
I've used the tissue-tek marking pencils for 20 years on both cassettes and
slides. I've never had a problem with them. The pencil never has come off or
left an artifact from lead on the slides. I was trained with them at A.F.I.P. in
the Lee Luna days.

	Subject: 	Marking pens

	Hello everybody in the land of knowledge:
	   I have a question that really needs an answer, what type of marking
pens 
	are in use in various labs for labeling cassettes.
	  In my lab pens by Secureline are in use, but have a very short life
span. 
	Even with careful covering, they dry out very fast. Any suggestions.??
This 
	situation is the source of much frustration.
	   Is there something better out there at a reasonable cost.??
	   Your help would be very much appreciated in advance.
