1. A tissue preparation device, comprising: a heating device configured to apply thermal energy to a paraffin-embedded tissue effective to melt the paraffin embedded in the tissue; and an electric field-generating device configured to apply an electrical field to the paraffin-embedded tissue effective to ionize the paraffin embedded in the tissue and to move the ionized paraffin out from the tissue.
