1. A system for preparing a pharmaceutical compound, comprising:
a base comprising a scale having a platen configured for placement of an object thereon, the platen comprising one or more recessed grooves;
a support comprising a first end coupled to a portion of the base and a second end extending to a position above the platen of the scale;
an enclosure housing comprising a first enclosure housing end and a second enclosure housing end, the first enclosure housing end attached to and extending from the second end of the support, and the second end of the enclosure housing extending over the platen of the scale, such that a field of view of the image capture device includes the platen, wherein the enclosure housing has a curved profile to minimize flow disturbance when the system is positioned within a flow hood;
an image capture device received within the enclosure housing and operatively connected to the scale;
an infrared camera received within the enclosure housing; and
a printer positioned within the base,
wherein the base, scale, and printer are integral with the system for preparing a pharmaceutical compound.
