Search the CONFOCAL archive at
http://listserv.acsu.buffalo.edu/cgi-bin/wa?S1=confocal

Use ImageJ, awesome free software which runs on any computer that does
Java:

You'll also need to install the LSM reader plugin:

Even better, download and install into ImageJ the confocal plugin
collection compiled by Tony Collins.  Then you can open almost most
confocal files from most vendors:

Congratulations, you are now free of the crappy Zeiss free .LSM reader!
