What you get back

Every reconstruction returns a ZIP with 8 entries:

File What it is
reconstruction_data.npz The quantitative data: amplitude, phase, unwrapped phase, height (µm), and scalar summaries. All float64.
comprehensive_analysis.png Multi-panel overview figure
qpi_height_map.png Quantitative phase / height map, rendered
reconstruction_zoomed.png Detail crop
reconstruction_3d.obj 3-D surface mesh (exaggerated in Z for viewing)
quality_report.json Quality metrics for this reconstruction
provenance.json Audit record: code version, library versions, input checksum, config hash
pdhm_metadata.json Echo of the optical parameters actually used

The .npz lives inside the ZIP. If numpy.load() cannot open your download, you saved the outer ZIP with an .npz name — unzip it first.
