A thin-slice manufacturing device (1) is a thin-slice manufacturing device for cutting an embedding block (B) in which a biological sample (S) is embedded by paraffin (P) using a cutting blade (3) relatively moved with respect to the embedding block (B) along a virtual plane (H) to cut out thin slices, the thin-slice manufacturing device includes a vertical illumination part (4) configured to radiate light to the embedding block (B), and an inclination estimation part (54) configured to detect a boundary line between a cutting surface cut along the virtual plane (H) and a non-cutting surface based on reflection of light generated by the light radiated to the embedding block (B) by the vertical illumination part (4), and estimate inclination information showing information related to inclination of the embedding block (B) based on the detected boundary line. |
