In this study we developed a new type of internal observation systems for biological samples. Manipulators which take a small sample of tissue at the surface of a sliced sample are attached to this system. This system consists of a slicing blade, automatic sample feeding mechanism, a bioptome which takes a small sample of tissue at the surface of a sliced sample, and a microscope for observation.
