Supposedly eosin used to color small specimens, or put in the processor, fluoresces enough in tissue sections to interfere with fluorescent stains.
I've seen safranin O (from the microbiology lab) used to mark small surgical specimens like GI biopsies. I don't know whether you can put it in the processor or not. Supposedly safranin O isn't fluorescent, though I haven't verified that.
