Abstract
A liquid droplet forming apparatus includes a liquid retention unit configured to retain particle suspension liquid in which precipitated particles are suspended; a membrane member, in which a nozzle is formed, configured to discharge the particle suspension liquid retained in the liquid retention unit, as a liquid droplet, by vibration from the nozzle; and a particle state detection unit configured to detect, from a side of the liquid retention unit, a particle state of the precipitated particle around the nozzle in the particle suspension liquid.
