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:
Capsule contained immature pulp. Seed is white to the naked eye, and not easily detached from the carpels. Medium sized seeds are short-rice shaped. Microscopic exam did not reveal any embryos, but they may be too young to have any appreciable density. Photo is of pulp in place on a carpel.
