We use a dropper of hematoxylin at the grossing table and it stays on the tissue even after processing.

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.
