Incoming seed is examined to determine embryo count to help decide how much seed should be sown, and/or which capsule would be the best to sow. Permanent sample slides are also prepared. Each separate package of seed is examined because these are generally from separate capsules, which is what we request from our donors.

Comments:
Packet received was a folded coffee filter.
Seed has bits of capsule debris mixed in, it was sifted to remove.
Seed is yellow to the naked eye, and free flowing. Small seeds are long-rice shaped, sometimes curved, and have tiny sized flat very pale embryos centrally located which are 1/4 the length of the seed when present. It's doubtful that the embryos are viable.
