## VVVV.2 Encoding Example

This section illustrates the usage of the Section C.37.1.2 Microscopy Bulk Simple Annotations Module in PS3.3 in the context of the Section A.87 Microscopy Bulk Simple Annotations IOD in PS3.3 .

The example consists of:

- Group of Polygons "1" outlining nuclei, consisting of:

  - 86 polygons

    - Point Coordinates Data (0066,0016) => describes the coordinates for all points in the polygons.

- Encoding of Annotation Property that the cell structure is a nucleus

- Encoding of Measurement Values

  - For storing measurement values like area values on specific polygons, the following are present:

    - Measurements Sequence (0066,0121), which contains an Item for each type of measurement, in this case area

    - Measurement Values Sequence (0066,0132), which contains an item containing an array of area measurements for all of the polygons

Table VVVV.2-1 shows the encoding of the Microscopy Bulk Simple Annotations Module for the example above.
