PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a control method of a droplet, a control device of a droplet, a manufacturing method of a droplet, a manufacturing apparatus of a droplet, and a droplet.SOLUTION: A liquid is ejected as a droplet 21 from a nozzle 11a to make a droplet 21 fly. An electric field is caused in a peripheral space of a flight route 22 by applying voltage to an electrode disposed near the flight route 22 of the droplet 21. The droplet 21 is deformed in non-contact by a dielectric force applied to the droplet 21 by an electric field. The physical property of the droplet 21 is controlled by observing the deformation of the droplet 21.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】液滴の制御方法、液滴の制御装置、液滴の製造方法、液滴の製造装置及び液滴を提供する。【解決手段】液体をノズル１１ａから液滴２１として射出して液滴２１を飛翔させ、液滴２１の飛翔経路２２の近傍に配設された電極に電圧を印加することによって飛翔経路２２の周辺空間に電界を生じせしめ、電界によって液滴２１に働く誘電力により、液滴２１を非接触で変形させ、液滴２１の変形を観察することによって該液滴２１の物性を制御する。【選択図】図１
