The fluorescent frontier of inspection

U.S. Air Force Senior Airman Amare Francois, 92nd Maintenance Squadron nondestructive inspection technician, shines an ultraviolet light on a piece of equipment at Fairchild Air Force Base, Washington, June 12, 2025. The fluorescent dye in the penetrant Francois rubbed onto the equipment glowed brightly under ultraviolet light, allowing him to see flaws that would otherwise be invisible to the naked eye.
