In a specimen collecting method according to the present invention, a specimen is collected from a surface () of a blade. An ultrasonic cutter having a cylindrical cutting blade is fed from the surface () of the blade to a surface () of a base material (), and thus, a cylindrical incision is formed. After performing cutting to expand the incision outwardly, a rotating cutter () having a disc-shaped cutting blade () performs cutting inwardly from the cylindrical incision. Thus, a part () situated inside the incision is cut away. The part () becomes the specimen.
