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:
Packet received was plastic tape and tissue paper.
Capsule had split and its contents have made contact with its exterior. Very little seed appears to be present and is mixed with debris.
Material is brown to the naked eye, and chunky. Only a small quantity of material was received, so no sample was taken in order to conserve it. Dry exam revealed no seed with embryos.
