Zusammenfassung:The present invention is enclosed in the area of the inspection of welding between two parts, for instance for the inspection of welding in the automotive industry, in which parts such as roofs and side panels are welded together. Specifically, the present invention provides a non-destructive inspection of a welding (100). The present invention provides a miniaturized and robust probe (10) which is suitable for the determination of a difference between a first impedance determined through the eddy currents induced in the welding (100) by a first inductor (11) and a second impedance determined through eddy currents induced in a reference material (13) by a second inductor (12) is able to be determined. Such difference allows to determine whether the first impedance is in correspondence with the second impedance, i.e., if the inspected part corresponds to the reference material (13), and enables to determine whether the compliance or level of compliance of the inspected part / welding (100).
