[0038] The user inserts one end of sampling strip 8 into winding film to culture cells with winding film, so that the growth of cells on sampling strip 8 is representative of the growth of cells on the surface of winding film, then one end of sampling strip 8 is inserted through joint 3 and into bellows 7, then the shear section 9 of bellows 7 is inserted into joint 3, then sampling strip 8 is straightened, and then the fixed section 10 of bellows 7 and one end of sampling strip 8 are fixed together by external melting shear machine to realize overall fixation.
