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 has dark debris mixed in.
Seed is dark brown to the naked eye, and coarse. Moderately small seeds are short-rice shaped, sometimes curved, and have moderately small sized elongated yellowish-green embryos centrally located which nearly fill the seed. Material is mostly debris, but the few seeds do look good.
