The disclosure relates to a manufactured composition, material or device comprising at least two different nonradioactive isotope atoms. Each nonradioactive isotope atom is present in an amount sufficient to increase the total amount of the nonradioactive isotope atom above the total amount found in the manufactured composition, material or device in the absence of adding the nonradioactive isotope atom to increase said total amount. The ratio(s) of the at least two nonradioactive isotopes in the manufactured composition, material or device are measurably different than the ratio(s) found in the manufactured composition, material or device in the absence of adding the nonradioactive isotope atom to increase said total amount.

According to one aspect of the invention, a potentiometric sensor having a cathode and an anode. The cathode is configured to provide a summary voltage representative of at least two voltage points. The anode is configured to provide a first voltage. The cathode is in communication with the anode by a first electrolyte forming an open circuit having an open circuit potential. Within the first electrolyte is a concentration of a target ion. The open circuit potential mathematically corresponds to the concentration of the target ion.

This disclosure provides a system and method for inspecting a component.
