[Histonet] marking tiny specimens

I am processing some extremely small specimens - pin tip size.  These are 
eggs with a protein covering.  I have tried using eosin to color the tissues 
before processing but the color came out before paraffin.  The coating on 
the eggs will not absorb the dye.  Does anyone have a suggestion for dyeing 
or marking these tissues so I can see them better to embed.  Thanks in 
advance,
Cheryl
