  Leica MZ12.5
With his unique blend of great expertise, Dr Mark Benecke has solved crimes by researching corpses: he can tell how long a body has remained undiscovered by studying the insects on it. The 32-year-old german forensic scientist extraordinary with an international reputation is the world's only freelance, full-time forensic entomologist - Dr Benecke uses insects and other arthropods to solve homicides and violent crimes - and his love of his subject is matched only by the breadth of his hospitality. Dr Benecke has expanded the field and travels across the world to work on cases, getting intimately acquainted with the kind of squirming larvae from which myriad phobias have grown.

He performs additional analysis under a Leica MZ12.5 stereomicroscope.
