Abstract
A system is provided for marking on a recording medium (), such as a label, the location of imaged tissue with respect to an exposed surface of the tissue (). Tissue is imaged by a microscope () capable of imaging sections of the tissue below the exposed tissue surface through optics. A ring () applied to the surface of the tissue stabilizes the tissue to the optics and localizes a portion of the tissue surface through an aperture in the ring. An actuator () is connected to both the ring and the microscope for moving the ring to adjust the position of the tissue with respect to the optics, thereby allowing an operator of the system to survey different images of tissue sections with the microscope.
