A smear system comprising: a smear preparing apparatus that prepares a smear slide on which a sample is smeared; and a smear transporting apparatus that transports the smear slide prepared by the smear preparing apparatus to a smear-image capture apparatus, wherein the smear preparing apparatus comprises: a smear preparation part that prepares the smear slide by smearing a sample on a slide; and a smear arrangement part that places, in a smear container, smear slides including a smear slide whose image is to be captured by the smear-image capture apparatus and a smear slide whose image is not to be captured by the smear-image capture apparatus, and the smear transporting apparatus comprises: a smear-container transport part that transports the smear container with the smear slides placed by the smear arrangement part; an identification-information acquisition part that acquires identification information on whether image capturing by the smear-image capture apparatus is necessary, from each of the smear slides accommodated in the smear container positioned on a transport path of the smear-container transport part; and a smear transfer part that picks the smear slide whose image is to be captured from the smear container and transfers the picked smear slide to the smear-image capture apparatus on the basis of the identification information acquired by the identification-information acquisition part. a smear preparing apparatus that prepares a smear slide on which a sample is smeared; and a smear transporting apparatus that transports the smear slide prepared by the smear preparing apparatus to a smear-image capture apparatus, wherein the smear preparing apparatus comprises: a smear preparation part that prepares the smear slide by smearing a sample on a slide; and a smear arrangement part that places, in a smear container, smear slides including a smear slide whose image is to be captured by the smear-image capture apparatus and a smear slide whose image is not to be captured by the smear-image capture apparatus, and a smear preparation part that prepares the smear slide by smearing a sample on a slide; and a smear arrangement part that places, in a smear container, smear slides including a smear slide whose image is to be captured by the smear-image capture apparatus and a smear slide whose image is not to be captured by the smear-image capture apparatus, and the smear transporting apparatus comprises: a smear-container transport part that transports the smear container with the smear slides placed by the smear arrangement part; an identification-information acquisition part that acquires identification information on whether image capturing by the smear-image capture apparatus is necessary, from each of the smear slides accommodated in the smear container positioned on a transport path of the smear-container transport part; and a smear transfer part that picks the smear slide whose image is to be captured from the smear container and transfers the picked smear slide to the smear-image capture apparatus on the basis of the identification information acquired by the identification-information acquisition part. a smear-container transport part that transports the smear container with the smear slides placed by the smear arrangement part; an identification-information acquisition part that acquires identification information on whether image capturing by the smear-image capture apparatus is necessary, from each of the smear slides accommodated in the smear container positioned on a transport path of the smear-container transport part; and a smear transfer part that picks the smear slide whose image is to be captured from the smear container and transfers the picked smear slide to the smear-image capture apparatus on the basis of the identification information acquired by the identification-information acquisition part.
