1. AI-made images

  • The virtual assistant (Lumen): icon created for BarrierLab with an AI image generation tool (GPT Image 2.5, via Higgsfield).
  • The BarrierLab logo (the sign with oxygen and water vapour molecules bouncing off a multilayer film, and the drawn name “BarrierLab”) and the site icon: the logo started from an image generated for BarrierLab with an AI image generation tool (GPT Image 2.5, via Higgsfield) and was redrawn as vector graphics with the help of an AI assistant (Claude); the letters of the name follow the Montserrat typeface (SIL Open Font License 1.1). They are not derived from the assistant icon.
  • The leaf of light on the About us page: an original drawing, computed by a program written with the help of an AI assistant (Claude), with no pixel taken from another image; only the shades of green come from the reference image received from MTC. The ripple you see on touch is calculated by the website, in your browser.

2. Photographs

Photographs of the laboratory instruments, used across the website. Eight were taken in the laboratory on 4 November 2026, seven with an Apple iPhone 17 Pro and one (COF) with a Canon EOS R6, and are only cropped and downsized, without AI. One (peel) is a photograph by MTC ROMÂNIA IMPEX SRL from 26 October 2026, edited with the help of AI. Under each large photograph is its title, identical to the file name; its details (date, location, GPS coordinates, equipment, camera, editing) appear when you move the cursor over it. Equipment names and trademarks belong to their owners.
