Italian term or phrase: esame distruttivo
Fischerscope. L’apparecchio per l’analisi della lega o dei singoli metalli preziosi, diffuso in modo assai limitato in Italia ed in Europa. Lo strumento è dotato di un lettore a raggi X, che legge e comunica in pochissimi secondi il titolo di gioielli in metallo, oro, platino e argento, escluse le pietre, senza il prelevamento e la distruzione del campione. Si tratta di una tecnica innovativa e la XXX è fra i primi laboratori in Europa ad adoperarla. Il procedimento innovativo consente una rilevazione del titolo del monile oltre che rapida anche più precisa e raffinata, in quanto non trattandosi di un ***esame distruttivo*** si può effettuare anche in più punti del gioiello.

naturalmente dovresti rielaborare la frase "trattandosi di un esame non distruttivo" oppure usare "destructive test"
