You can use the Bio-Formats Importer plugin (part of the Fiji distribution
of ImageJ;
http://fiji.sc/) to open a subset of your data. Choose File >
Import > Bio-Formats, select your TIFF stack, then when the dialog appears,
check the "Specify range for each series" box. Click OK, and another dialog
will appear that gives control over which planes get opened. You can also
crop the image planes (i.e., reduce X and Y dimensions) by checking the
"Crop on import" box.
As Wayne says, another good option is virtual stacks. You can check the
"Use virtual stack" box for that.
