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 appears clean and debris-free.
Seed is light yellow to the naked eye, and somewhat fluffy. Moderately small seeds are long-rice shaped, somewhat curved, and have moderately small sized egg-shaped brownish-yellow embryos toward the pointed end which are 3/4 the length of the seed. Seeds with bad or no embryos are much smaller.
