Software can probably solve many issues here, like calibrating the devices and processing informations to give scientists meaningful metrics. It may also help fixing or at least detect erroneous data. Great hardware needs to be designed in pair with the software. Also, just software can help. Now there are iOS apps to count cells by just taking pictures, while labs paid (and still pay) fortunes to get machines/software for that.
