| Abstract | Methods for preparing a biological tissue specimen for examination, such as microscopic examination, that involves applying acoustic pressure wave/shock wave (APW/SW) energy to the tissue specimen. The APW/SW energy can be applied to the tissue specimen to augment any one or more steps of processing the tissue specimen. In one example, the APW/SW energy is applied to enhance histotechnological processing of the tissue specimen. Apparatuses and systems that include APW/SW generators and that are specifically configured for processing biological tissue specimens are also disclosed. |
