Dear friends,
I can rarely find the meaning of these two words from my dictionary. Could you please help to clarify and show me some examples? When these words are used?
Thanks so much,

Dear Kitosdad,
Thanks so much for your help. I'm so sorry that there was a typo in my question. :( Actually, I want to ask about the meaning of "in situ" vs. "ex-situ". Could you please help to re-explain these 2 words again? :)
Many thanks,
Siam

For examples, I found this word in a book :
***
Additional Services
- Laboratory expertise of spent catalysts
- Pilot plant ex-situ activation
***
What is the meaning of "ex-situ" in the above clause?
Thanks

Ex-situ, is the exact opposite of in-situ.

Taking animals from the jungle and placing them in zoos is an example.
