Indeed.  I'm responsible for the JPython applet for controlling the
remote microscope, and it's been dissatisfying enough that I'm looking
hopefully at Mozilla, with the idea of writing a microscope client as
a set of Mozilla chrome, triggering actions on the server through
XML-RPC or HTTP.  The major stumbling block isn't a language-related
one, but rather that there's no open standard for a streaming video
format.
