The tube fittings on the bottom ring are probably water inlet/outlet for temperature control. Maybe from an automated wafer inspection scope?

Good idea, it would be tricky yes but layering or using just the color channel over the sem image could work, no idea how to do it. Not good at photoshop or similar, but I'm realizing its something I need to learn.
