PURPOSE:To provide a method for efficiently and precisely forming a substrate of a thin plate for loading of a sample, with a good productivity. CONSTITUTION:A block 5 for loading a sample is arranged between a movable plate 8 urged towards a reference surface 7 and the reference surface 7. The movable plate 8 presses and fixes the block 5 to the reference surface 7. A blade part 14 of a cutter 15 is set at a position separated a predetermined distance from the reference surface 7 and depressed in this state, whereby, the block 5 is cut at a position separated the predetermined distance from the reference surface 7. Accordingly, a thin plate for loading a sample is formed efficiently with good productivity and precisely without being influenced by an irregularity of a cutting force, an irregularity of an angle of the cutter, etc., as in the conventional manual operation. |
