Abstract:
Thin-section slide samples are manufactured from respective embedding blocks containing a biological sample and held in an embedding cassette having imprinted thereon individual data. The embedding cassette is transported to a cutting position where an embedding block is cut into sheet-like thin sections, and the individual data is read out. Each of thin sections is flattened and transferred onto a substrate to form a thin-section slide sample. A memory part stores the individual data read out and a condition table into which is input manufacturing conditions for manufacturing the thin sections. Thereafter, it is evaluated whether or not each of the thin sections is prepared in accordance with the manufacturing conditions input into the condition table.
