Genesis "lithobraking" : odds payload recoverable?

How would you suppose they would go about recovering the payload of particles?

The backup plan that I saw was for the case where the helicopter missed, or
could not fly because of bad weather. It was exactly what you might think -
carefully collect the (presumably) shards of the wafers, and analyze them.

It was intended for a parachute landing, but presumably the same would apply
here.
