Save in TIFF format. Other TIFF readers will not be able to open a 20 GB TIFF created by ImageJ, except as a “raw” file using information displayed by ImageJ when the stack is saved, for example:

   Stack is larger than 4GB. Most TIFF readers will only open the first image.
   Use this information to open as raw: name=Untitled, dir=, width=1024,
   height=1024, nImages=5000, offset=183, type=byte, byteOrder=big,
   format=0, url=, whiteIsZero=f, lutSize=256, comp=1, samples=1
