Barry Rittman observes: >>When I used to mark biopsy specimens it was mainly to allow correct orientation of the block in the wax and to allow the marked area to be seen when orienting and cutting the block rather than visualizing in a section.<<
Good point I hadn't thought of. In surgical pathology, if the embedder needs to see the ink, than the pathologist needs to see it too. That wouldn't be true for all research applications.
