The UI is very inconsistent in terms of font size, spacing, ordering. We need to make this much more consistent because it causes issues with usability.

Main issues: Aesthetics:

sizing: so many things are different sizes that shouldnt be
lots of missing / redundant headers. we need to decide when we use a header / when we dont
tabception is becoming a problem; what are some solutions

Consistency

ordering should be consistent; e.g. electron on left, ion on right
tab order is completely broken
func, variable names inaccurate, mismatched

Feedback

needs to provide user more feedback (e.g. notifications). example is when we are imaaging or moving as this can take a while to resolve (e.g. TESCAN)
Disabling functionality when not allowed.
