To provide a tool for collecting ribbon-shaped continuous ultrathin slices, made with a diamond knife for a conventional transmission electron microscope, onto a substrate.SOLUTION: The present invention relates to a tool that is fitted to a diamond knife before ribbon-shaped continuous ultrathin slices are cut, and collects the ribbon-shaped continuous ultrathin slices having been cut onto a substrate. A column 5 is provided on a batholith of a support base of a main body, the substrate is attached to the root of the column 5, and fixed with a fastener 2 over an upper side of a knife boat edge to moor a mold form to the column. The fastener 2 is in a box shape, and provided with an entrance by removing one side wall thereof, provided with an eaves-shaped ceiling 14 inside from above both side walls 2, and provided with a leaf spring on a lower side from an inner wall in parallel with the side walls, and the mold form 3 is provided to a flat ultrathin frame in a substantially channel shape which is equal in width and length to the substrate so that the part 11 where the part of a hole 12 into which the column 5 is inserted on a closed side is held with tweezers at both ends opposed to an open side protrudes outward.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 15 【課題】従来の透過電子顕微鏡用のダイヤモンドナイフで作製したリボン状連続超薄切片を基板に回収する用具に関するものである。【解決手段】リボン状連続超薄切片を切削する前に用具をダイヤモンドナイフに取りつけて切削後にリボン状連続超薄切片を基板に回収する用具であって、本体の支持台部の底盤に柱５を設け、その柱５の付け根に基板を着けて、ナイフボート縁の上側に重ねて留め具２で固定して、柱に型枠を係留する。留め具２は略箱形で、その一側壁を取り除いて入口を設け、両側壁２の上部から内側に軒状の天井１４を設け、下側には奥壁から側壁に平行に板バネを設け、型枠３は、基板と同じ幅、同じ長さの平らな極薄い略コの字形状枠に、閉鎖側を柱５に通す孔１２の部分を開放側に対辺する両端に攝子で掴む部分１１を外向きに突出するように設けている。【選択図】図１５
