Where the images come from
Product images in our current files come from the corresponding brand’s public documentation. Original editorial illustrations are used for methodology and general context.
What an image does not prove
A manufacturer image does not prove that we received, inspected or measured a physical sample. The evidence label remains the place to check the status of each article.
Source records
Article source links and the editorial asset source record keep provenance available for review. Brand names and product images remain the property of their respective owners.
