In-situ means that something is in is original or proper place, used more
often now in medical parlance.
One might properly use it in the below example.
I took the picture of the Hosta in-situ, = the picture was taken of the Hosta
were it was in the ground.
Or I took a picture of the flower in-situ-or while it was still attached to
the scape.
It's used in a few diffrent ways in medicine.
The two examples that you use for the word are too limited and restrictive
for the words
