A sample transfer system includes a sample-mounting member mounting a sample thereonto, and a sample-moving device lifting the sample to move the sample between the sample-mounting member and another location. The sample-mounting member includes a first predetermined sample-mounting region mounting the sample, and a recessed part on or around a side of the first predetermined sample-mounting region. The sample-moving device includes a first sample-holding device, the first sample-holding device including a sample-holding surface facing the sample to be lifted, a first contact member contacting with part of the sample, and a movement mechanism moving the first contact member in a direction along the sample-holding surface. Part of the contact member enters the recessed part when the first sample-holding device is brought ill proximity to the first predetermined sample-mounting region, the part of the contact member moving within the recessed part by operating the movement mechanism.
