Abstract

In a specimen collecting method according to the present invention, a specimen is collected from a surface (114a) of a blade. An ultrasonic cutter having a cylindrical cutting blade is fed from the surface (114a) of the blade to a surface (110a) of a base material (100), and thus, a cylindrical incision is formed. After performing cutting to expand the incision outwardly, a rotating cutter (220) having a disc-shaped cutting blade (222) performs cutting inwardly from the cylindrical incision. Thus, a part (20a) situated inside the incision is cut away. The part (20a) becomes the specimen.
