Abstract: An oil removal method is disclosed that removes an oil for an oil immersion object lens adhering to a smear surface of a smear of a sample. The method may include removing the oil by moving at least one of a first holder holding the smear to be subjected to oil removal or a second holder holding an oil absorption member that absorbs the oil from a separated state where a contact surface of the oil absorption member and the smear surface are positioned away from each other to a contacting state where the smear surface and the contact surface are in contact with each other, and moving at least one of the first holder or the second holder from the contacting state to the separated state after removing the oil.
