    Unhappy Retake an example... Is it used?

    I'm writing a thesis.

    I've introduced an example, earlier in the thesis, about a banana.
    Now, I want people to know I'll reuse that example. Can I write:

    To illustrate this criterion, we can retake the banana example: ....


    Is retake a commonly used word, for this kind of thing? The word "remember" doesn't really express what I want. I want to say I'll analyse the previous example.

    Thanks.

    Recall. Or, revisit.
