Budget estimate

$6,000 – $16,000

Refurbished research‑grade DIC microscopes typically range from $5,000 to $15,000 depending on age, condition, and included accessories. Adding service, warranty, and any integration costs could raise the total to roughly $6,000‑$16,000. Therefore the expected contract value is estimated in that band.
