This week, I received my Swift M15T-P microscope and several accessories from Benz. The compound scope stage and mechanism are working smoothly for my purpose and the images from the slides are very crisp. However, be advised that the eyepieces extend upward and away from the body substantially, which is comfortable for viewing, but a challenge for storage in a hard-shell case or cabinet. I'm currently looking for an appropriate case to fit the M15.

Although the Swift scope appears to be a solid product early on, logging many more hours of usage will be required for me to provide a more qualified assessment of its dependability. My 5-star rating with this review is primarily a reflection of the excellent service from the staff at Benz.

After placing my order directly on the benzmicroscope.com website, communication from their staff has been great from start to finish. Most impressively, the various components in my order were all securely and superbly packed for shipping (I would even say "lovingly"), more so than any of the many shipments I've received from other vendors or from amazon.com over years past. The guys currently in their shipping department are top notch, and it's obvious the people at Benz care about their customer.

Order your science equipment from Benz. Their prices are good, and you'll be very pleased with their service and delivery.
