(a) Workflow for ex vivo samples in the SIBIPIRUNA and TIMBÓ beamlines, illustrating preparation, cryogenic preservation, and transfer through sealed modules toward the beamline sample-loading system under controlled containment conditions. (b) Workflow for in vivo experiments in the HIBISCO beamline, showing the progression from the vivarium to preparation, anesthesia, physiological monitoring, and transfer into the tomography cabin, with parallel implementations for BSL-2 and BSL-4 environments under strict containment control.
