Macroscopic Solutions Support answer
This staff-authored guidance is generalized. Project-specific and private details should be handled through direct support.
Check that the sample, stage, camera, adapters, and support are tight before changing software. Reduce cable pull and air movement, use a stable table, and add enough delay after every move. At high magnification, nearby footsteps, fans, flexible mounts, or an abrupt stage acceleration can be visible. A short stationary sequence helps separate optical softness from mechanical motion.
