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:

We sometimes wonder why we do not publish images at higher resolution in journals. Perversely, images that *are* higher resolution make it easier to spot duplication, like this one. Thanks to @elisabethbik.bsky.social as ever for spotting this.
