help: immunocytochemistry problem

I need to do immunocytochemical staining of a tissue culture plated on
top of a fibrin matrix.  The problem is that my cells invade the matrix,
and they too need to be stained.  I need to analyze them while they are
alive and in the matrix.  (the best thing would be to extract them from
the matrix, but I can't do that)

can anyone suggest what to do?  I was thinking of doing paraffin
embedding, but that will melt the matrix.  The next best thing would be
a cryo-section.

Any suggestions are welcome

thanks
