Search the CONFOCAL archive at http://listserv.acsu.buffalo.edu/cgi-bin/wa?S1=confocal Two books that come to mind for me are James Pawley's Handbook of Biological Confocal Microscopy and Alan Hibbs' book Confocal Microscopy for Biologists:

http://www.amazon.com/Handbook-Biological-Confocal-Microscopy-Pawley/dp/038725921X/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1210169761&sr=1-2

http://www.amazon.com/Confocal-Microscopy-Biologists-Alan-Hibbs/dp/0306484684/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1210169821&sr=1-1

These books complement each other very well. Guy Cox has a recent book as well that I liked:

http://www.amazon.com/Optical-Imaging-Techniques-Cell-Biology/dp/0849339197/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1210169866&sr=1-2

And there's one book that's a bit older now but I used this a lot when I first started doing microscopy: Fundamentals of Light Microscopy and Electronic Imaging by Douglas B. Murphy.

http://www.amazon.com/Fundamentals-Light-Microscopy-Electronic-Imaging/dp/047125391X/ref=pd_bbs_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1210169963&sr=1-1

All of these books have some sections on practical aspects of running the instrument (especially Hibbs' book). And here's one more that's all about that:

Dear colleagues, at this moment we have some money to expend in books. 

Could you please recommend us books about light/fluorescence microscopy in 

general or specifically about confocal microscopy. We would prefer books with 

practical aspects and methods.

We have a leica confocal LCS SL and two light an fluorescence microscopies 

and we are doing research in the are of biomedicine in a public institution. 

thanks a lot in advance
