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.

Seed is light tan to the naked eye. Seeds are small, irregularly shaped, and it is difficult to determine which have good embryos. It is likely that at least a few do, though.
