Non-destructive testing is a scientific term. When a scientist studies a piece of material they often have to break it down to study what it's made of. With non-destructive testing the object is kept intact and not modified.

One nondestructive technique for examining fingerprints is using a technique called powder dusting, where a fine powder is applied to the surface to make the fingerprint visible without altering or damaging it. Once the fingerprint is revealed, it can be lifted using adhesive tape or photographed for further analysis.
