Abstract
A probe for use with a tank having a wall pierced by an orifice and configured to contain a fluid containing paramagnetic particles. The probe comprises a magnet, a displacement system arranged at the orifice to displace the magnet from a capturing position in which the magnet is bathed in the fluid to a checking position in which the magnet is outside of the tank, and a seal ensuring the seal-tightness of the orifice in the transition from the capturing position to the checking position and vice versa.
