Amber,
My lab buys half size colored slide labels and we place them on the
bottom of the slide, they are just a little bit bigger than the size of the +'s
on plus slides. We have a printer for consult slide labels which when they are
received we print these half labels. They do not obscure the labels from the
submitting lab, and we can scan our slides for future reference and
electronically attach them to the case, with both numbers intact.

Amber McKenzie (where?) asks: >>Would it be rude to ask other hospitals that
review my slides to NOT WRITE their accession number on the front of my slides,
but instead put their accession number on the back of my slides?
Sometimes, I get slides back that have stickers on the front under my accession
number or they'll hand write their accession number under mine.
I feel like I should scribble out the other institution number so that it
doesn't confuse any of us refilling slides. What are your thoughts? Would
anyone like to share their slide send out form?<<
Well, if you put the label on the back of the slide, it becomes very difficult
for me to move the slide under the microscope!
Surely it's time for us to get Whole Slide Imaging to replace mailing slides
around, now that the units have got down to about the price of a good
microscope. But at 75 I won't see it!
