A special dye is applied to the surface of the article to be tested. A suitable time interval allows it to soak into any surface defects. The surface is then freed from surplus dye and the dye in the crack revealed by either

Gamma rays, similar to X-rays but of shorter wavelength, are emitted continuously from the isotope. It cannot be 'switched off' so when not in use, it is kept in a heavy storage container that absorbs radiation. They pass through the work to be inspected.

The work is magnetized either by passing a current through it, or through a coil surrounding it. Defects on or near the surface disrupt the magnetic field (unless they are parallel to it)
