View stacked tiff files

A researcher sent me a few tiff files that are stacked (slices) but I can not find a viewer on Mac OS (they use Windows). They use a program named ImageJ from the US Gov, but it does not download on my Mac running Catalina (newest version). Does anyone have any thoughts on how to open these files? Thanks!

Apple's Preview will open individual tiff images, and multipart tiff images. There is a version of ImageJ for macOS that is bundled with Java 8 (e.g. 1.8). That should work provided provided there is no 32-bit code in the ImageJ application, or any 32-bit plug-ins. The version of imageJ that uses Java 6 will definitely not work on Catalina.
