Thin-section slides manufacturing apparatus and method for manufacturing thin-section slides

摘要

A thin-section slide-sample manufacturing apparatus and a method for manufacturing a thin-section slide sample by cutting out a thin section from an embedded block, transporting the thin section on a conveyor unit, transferring and mounting the thin section on a substrate, the thin-section slide-sample manufacturing apparatus including: a relay having a fixing plane onto which the thin section is fixed detachable; a rotating transportation unit which moves the relay between the conveyor unit and the substrate; and a control unit which moves the relay to the conveyor unit by using the rotating transportation unit, which moves the relay to the substrate where the thin section is detached and transferred to the substrate; wherein, the control unit rotates the relay according to the preliminarily set fixing plane and the relative position of the thin section around a rotation axis provided orthogonal to the fixing plane by using the rotating transportation unit.
