Budget estimate

$30,000 – $50,000

Based on current market pricing, a Leica M205 C stereomicroscope typically retails between $12,000 and $15,000 per unit, depending on accessories and warranty options. Purchasing two units plus any required accessories (cameras, lighting, service contracts) would likely fall in the $30,000‑$50,000 range. Therefore the expected contract value is roughly thirty to fifty thousand U.S. dollars.
