Claim 2:
3. The process of claim 1, wherein the apparatus further comprises a seed crystal protection member, and
wherein the process further comprises:
after bonding the seed crystal to the lower tray of the growth platform, and before bringing the seed crystal into contact with the supersaturated solution, placing the seed crystal protective member around the seed crystal and holding the seed crystal on the lower tray of the growth platform; and
after introducing the crystal growth solution and the immiscible liquid into the vessel, and before treating the crystal growth solution to make it supersaturated, comprising, successively:
treating the crystal growth solution to make it undersaturated, to obtain an undersaturated crystallization solution;
bringing the seed crystal protective member into contact with the undersaturated crystallization solution by immersion of the lower tray of the growth platform in the undersaturated crystallization solution; and
bringing the seed crystal into contact with the undersaturated crystallization solution by moving the seed crystal protective member away from the lower tray.
