I suspect some corruption going on when I hear something like this. I have no experience with biochemistry, but in my university they showed us a (selfbuild) 3D equipment consisting of one or a couple of computers, 3 (good) beamers and a gauntlet to control the scene. I couldn't believe the price-tag: 300k €. I think the problem is the same for many institutions. They get budget and need to spend it somehow (if they don't then they get less the next year).
