The images were cropped to 3:2, resized and converted to WebP; for three pieces of silicon carbide and silicon, the white background was replaced with a plain graphite grey. The images are otherwise unchanged. Images under CC BY-SA remain under the same licence in this adapted form. People who appear in the photographs (such as the workers in the diamond wire photo) have no connection whatsoever with this site. Brands visible in photographs belong to their owners.
The slurry recovery flow chart is an original graphic by Kerf & Korn. The German edition lists the same photographs on its Bildnachweis page.
