We're using Empix Imaging's Northern Eclipse software for both widefield
CCD based digital microscopy and manipulating confocal data sets from our
Zeiss LSM 410.  Given the woeful state of the Canadian microbuck, the fact
that Emipx is a Canadian company makes their software much less expensive.

I'm not familliar with Slidebook...but Eclipse is a notch up from ImagePro+
(IMHO).
