During initial setup of the TiffReader object, process TIFF Tags for additional metadata (ImageJ puts physical pixel sizes in the Tiff Tags for example)

Alternatives

Please describe any alternatives you've considered, even if you've dismissed them

Really? tifffile is usually great about this - we should try to get it from that library since we are using it for everything else.

I have a rough branch ready to go, will push tomorrow if you don't beat me to it

That branch looks good to me. Feel free to open a PR.
