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 appears clean and intact.
Capsule was green and immature when it arrived, and was "greencapped" immediately. A pulp sample was assayed later, and though the placental material had seeds developing, they were very immature, consolidated, and had barely-formed embryos.
Pulp sample from greencapping session.
