Abstract:
1. A sliced specimen preparing method, for sticking thin slices to a slide by using a sliced specimen preparing apparatus the sticks the thin slice transferred in a state of being adsorbed on a carrier tape and prepared by slicing a surface layer portion of a specimen block, to the slide to which an adhesive liquid is applied, the method comprising: applying the adhesive liquid to a first slice sticking position, being any position on the slide, in a first transfer section that transfers the slide in a direction crossing a traveling track of the carrier tape on a first transfer section; controlling a travel amount of the carrier tape and a transfer amount of the slide on the first transfer section, to perform alignment such that the thin slice faces the first slice sticking position; making the thin slice transfer onto the first slice sticking position of the slide; supplying the slide from the first transfer section to a second transfer section having a heating unit, and stretching a wrinkle of the thin slice and making the thin slice tightly adhering to the slide, while transferring the slide in an opposite direction to the transfer direction of the first transfer section; applying the adhesive liquid to a second slice sticking position on the slide different from the first slice sticking position, while transferring the slide on the first transfer section after disposing the slide from the second transfer section to the first transfer section; controlling the travel amount of the carrier tape and the transfer amount of the slide on the first transfer section, to perform alignment such that a thin slice faces the second slice sticking position; and making the thin slice transfer onto the second slice sticking position of the slide thereby sticking a plurality of the thin slices to the slide.
