    Staff-authored common question
    This generalized question is based on recurring support conversations. It is not a customer quotation, and identifying details have been removed.

    What handling information is needed before a delicate, unstable, wet, reflective, hazardous, or moving subject is placed in an imaging workflow?

    This staff-authored guidance is generalized. Project-specific and private details should be handled through direct support.

    Stabilize and clean the sample only with methods appropriate to the material, use a reversible or noncontact support when required, and minimize movement from air, heat, drying, or handling. Disclose fragility, moisture, motion, containment, and safety restrictions before shipping or setup. The handling limits may determine orientation, lighting, capture time, no-touch equipment, or whether the project can be accepted as a service.
