Thank you very much for implementing a CZI. format handler that is non-dependent on JavaScript. Unfortunately after some reading and exploring, I couldn't find any way to extract the Preview image as well as Label image from the .czi files. I am using QR-codes on the label, so it would be important for me to be able to do that. Is there any chance, you could implement this for the next version? As for now, I have to use Python-bioformats to do that ( but that package is very unstable since it's depending on the javabridge package and the JRE version installed on a device).

Sorry, I have not been maintaining this library. Can you check if https://github.com/AllenCellModeling/aicsimageio has support for your requirements? libCZI that both libraries rely on has also been discontinued by Zeiss, in favor of a new library that also supports writing; they have also created their own python wrapper now, which maybe you could also try: https://pypi.org/project/pylibCZIrw/
