A device and method are disclosed for making reference marks on a microscope slide. The device includes a member for mounting the device to a microscope. A marking nib is provided to selectively place a reference mark on the slide at a preselected position relative to an object of interest on the slide. A mechanism is further provided for maintaining the same preselected position relative to all objects of interest marked on a slide including a member for moving the nib in at least two generally orthogonally aligned directions within a horizontal plane to permit adjustment and calibration of the preselected position relative to the objects of interest. A plunger member activates the nib and selectively reference marks the slide. Finally, the device includes a mechanism for selectively varying the size of the mark and for automatically maintaining the size once selected.
