Abstract

The method of the present invention is capable of securely removing air from a space between a cover glass and a slide glass and securely locating a damaged part of a specimen outside of a visual field of a microscope. One end of the cover glass is held by a sucking pad, which is provided to an arm capable of rotating and vertically moving. The cover glass is obliquely held with respect to the slide glass. The one end of the cover glass is held higher than the other end of the cover glass. A position of a rotational axis of the arm is moved to a position under the slide glass. The arm is rotated to make the other end of the cover glass contact the slide glass and curve the cover glass. The one end of the cover glass is gradually moved toward the slide glass.
