I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the
AppleSauce yet. Yes, it requires a
Mac. Yes, they're currently out of stock, but Yes, it's absolutely the
best solution out there for disk imaging.

I've used it for both hard & soft-sectored 5.25" disks and 3.5" disks.
I've
also imaged a few 8" disks using it, and I know more than one person has
used it to image RX02 disks.
It'll image just about anything, including PC98 disks. GCR, FM, MFM, it'll
do it all.
The link that Sellam sent
https://hackaday.com/2021/01/27/reconstructing-data-from-a-corrupt-apple-fl…
was about using Apple Sauce
I think I replied before he posted that, or I didn't see it.
For me the AppleSauce provides so much capability that it was worth the
cost of buying a Mac Mini in order to use it. That was before I knew I
could use the 2011 Macbook Pro I already had, but I still feel it was
money well spent.
It's a one-man outfit and the devloper is very responive to user bug
reports and feature requests. A recent feature is the ability to use a
web cam to photograph the media as part of the imaging process.
If anyone has questions, the AppleSauce Discord can be found here:

Here's a list of the formats that the AS supports /so far/:
