Abstract

Provided is a method for observing a biological tissue sample. As a result, it is possible to easily grasp an observation target region present in a biological tissue, and it is possible to easily cut a plurality of sample pieces from a sample block of the biological tissue. The observation method comprises the following steps: a resin embedding step of forming a sample block; a fixing step in which the sample block is divided into a plurality of sample pieces, and each of the sample pieces is fixed to a sample piece placement member to form a plurality of observation samples; an observation target region specifying step for specifying an observation target region in which precise observation is performed; a coordinate determination step for determining and registering the coordinates of the observation target region on the sample piece for each of the observation samples; a milling step for irradiating the observation target region of the sample sheet with an ion beam or a neutral particle beam using a gas as an ion source with reference to the coordinates, and exposing an observation surface located inside the sample sheet; and an imaging step for acquiring an SEM image of the observation surface using a scanning electron microscope.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method for observing biological tissue samples. Background technique [0002] In the investigation and research of living tissue in the fields of medical biology, regenerative medicine, and pharmaceuticals, it is required to observe the morphology of living tissue three-dimensionally. For example, in regenerative medicine, micro-organs, which are the basis of organs, are fabricated from iPS (induced pluripotent stem cells: induced pluripotent stem cells) cells. Micro-organs are also used in screening for research development in pharmaceuticals. There is a high demand for three-dimensionally grasping the fine structure of organs or tissues by further cutting such micro-organs into several pieces. [0003] However, depending on the capabilities (magnification, depth of focus, and resolution) of microscopes used for observation, stereoscopic observation of living tissue is not necessarily easy, and there are various pr...
