(57) [Problem] To provide a technique for cutting a section of a nail in a direction perpendicular to an axis of thickness, that is, in a direction parallel to a growth direction. SOLUTION: A nail is fixed on a support, a non-fixed surface is placed on a flat plate below, and a primary embedding is carried out with an embedding agent from this side except for the upper portion of the support and the non-fixed surface of the nail. With the non-embedded portion of the support of the primary embedding material facing down, the embedding agent is filled and fixed from the side on a fixing table, and the immobilizing material is cut out from the upper portion to adjust nail slices. |
