Proper identification of surgical margins along with margin status holds utmost importance in histopathology. Inking margins is one way. India ink has long been used but it can ink only one margin. On other hand acrylic colours, available in variety of colours can be used for inking multiple margins along with many more advantages. The present study was undertaken to analyse acrylic colours and Indian ink for inking surgical margins via three different methods for optimum results.
