They look fine, no scratches or any other blemishes. I have not had time to study them on the lighttable with a loupe yet, but the cursory glance is promising. I asked the guy at the lab about the processing, and it sounded fairly standard, comparable to C41 or E6 processing, except that there is a controlled (obviously) exposure to light during the process.
