I worked in the McConnell Lab at Stanford, a developmental neurobiology lab, for a couple years as an undergraduate.

The sorts of data that ends up as figures published in a paper (especially a Cell or Science type paper) would typically have been looked at in lab meetings over a good period of time and reviewed by a lot of folks in the lab, not just the authors. Not always but I would say usually.

Some labs that are collaborating across continents or institutions, maybe not all the individual pictures get analyzed closely by each author. But a 1st author, senior author, should have a very close handle on all figures.
