We have, as of yet, not adorned the room with Washington or Lee.
We think that something slipped and cut off the bottom of the tubes
during a change. At least that would explain what we saw.
Unfortunately, both broken tubes were reference samples. $$$ The good
news is that I'm just helping during vacations and, being a theorist,
none of this actually affects me. ;-)

I have brought cameras up to the instruments in my facility many times
and never seen any effects on the image/sensor. However, I never went
above or below the bore and that is where the strongest fringing
fields are present. Sorry to hear about your sample changer problems.
I do not have any JEOL equipment so I have no advice other than to
say that samples changers on these things can be a PIA.
We have Gamecocks on the wall behind one of our "400s"

The autosampler on our NMR (like an MRI but with a smaller hole) has
broken a few sample tubes in the past week, and this is a huge
nuisance because we need to remove a big piece of sensitive tech to
clean it out. I was trying to take pictures with the Q to send to the
company, but when I got too close the LCD would just lose the picture
but still show the info, just like when the lens cap is still on. I
guess the magnetic field just affects the sensor? Anyway, since the
field has a funny shape I moved back and around until I could get some
shots. The first is the magnet with a lovely Vermeer print on the
back wall:

and this is the autosampler from above (a dimple in the magnetic
field) showing the broken tube

I also missed the bottom step of the ladder after taking this and made
a less than graceful dismount.:-o
