Some authors are astonishingly laid back regarding manipulation of images. This one takes the biscuit: "A portion of this micrograph has been modified in order to obtain a nicer image..." 🤯 We made an animation to show the modifications: pubpeer.com/publications... Can't get over it!

A technical point: Sometimes figures are embedded in PDF files in vector form. So we can extract them and reduce line widths, making any duplications clearer. An example here: youtu.be/oeR7onef3e8 pubpeer.com/publications...
