[Histonet] Ethanol preserved tissues

Hi Histo folks,

So I have a friend you is interested in doing some histology on snake  
embryos. Unfortunately, the supply of this species of snake embryos is  
low and the only ones currently available have been museum specimens.  
Thus, they have been stored in ethanol for awhile.  Are these hopeless  
or is there anyway to carry out some histology on them?

Just wondering,

Laura Hunt
