Description
Preserve an explicitly supplied histology section orientation and reference frame.
Histology records connect specimen/cassette/slide identity, section position, image calibration, stain references and evaluable area. Linear and area scales differ, and section pitch is not automatically thickness. Supplied measurements and labels do not inspect tissue, validate preparation or establish a diagnosis.
Preserve an explicitly supplied histology section orientation and reference frame.
When to use this tool
Use Histology Section Orientation Marker Token when you already have sectionId, suppliedOrientation, referenceFrame and need to preserve an explicitly supplied histology section orientation and reference frame.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter sectionId, suppliedOrientation, referenceFrame. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read token. Use the output convention below.
Enter sectionId, suppliedOrientation, referenceFrame using the field constraints below. Encode these values, in exactly that order, as a JSON array and return the serialized array as text in token. String values are preserved without trimming or external terminology lookup.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |

| referenceFrame | Reference Frame | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |

"input": {
"sectionId": "S17",

"referenceFrame": "specimen long axis"
},
"output": {
"token": "[\"S17\",\"transverse\",\"specimen long axis\"]"
}
}Limitations and assumptions
- The result records supplied values without inferring anatomy. Sources and asserted relationships are not independently authenticated.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Reconcile original specimen and processing records with calibrated images and the complete analytical method. Keep evaluable-area, control and section-depth definitions explicit; local ratios, identifier splits and nominal scales do not validate anatomical or diagnostic conclusions.
