Seconded.

Given the existence of at least one excellent deconvolution package for
confocal images (Huygens2 from Scientific Volume Imaging; www.svi.nl)
which could offer even greater benefits from 12- or 16-bit data files, I
think that it would be appropriate for ALL confocal manufacturers to add
(or in some cases restore!) the ability to collect images at depths
greater than 8-bit.
