This has some great potential for immunohistochemistry, one of the major methods of measurement in Neuroscience. Essentially this would allow much cleaner binding to target sites, and thus cleaner readings. One of the difficult things using current methodology is how to colocalize two or more different types of receptors, seeing which cells contains chemicals x and y, have receptors a and b, or some combination thereof. Being able to identify these structures more reliably and more cleanly will take a lot of the guesswork out of this procedure and hopefully make it even more powerful.
I think this problem is one that stems from American culture more than anything else. Americans, on the whole, lack an adequate sense of awareness, both of themselves and of others.
Programmers and tech designers don't stop to think about how a product will most often be used. What's more, they don't think about what a user really wants, and instead center their thoughts on getting the product out the door and getting paid. Sad thing is, if they program things right the first time (though this applies more to actual software design, scalability, and modularity) they'd be out of job. I can't think of any profession where they get paid more and have the most job security for doing a mediocre job over a great one.
