4 μm spheres with volume (V) of 33.51 μm3 and 5.1 \(\times\) 3.4 μm peanut-shaped microparticles with V of 34 μm3 at a 172 MHz acoustic field a in the midstream and b at the downstream trifurcation. c Collected particles from Outlet 1. Collected particles from d Outlet 2 and e Outlet 3. 6 μm spheres with V of 113 μm3 and 7.7 \(\times\) 5.1 μm peanut-shaped microparticles with V of 117 μm3 at a 117 MHz acoustic field f in the midstream and g at the downstream trifurcation. h Collected particles from Outlet 1. Collected particles from i Outlet 2 and j Outlet 3. Scale bar: 200 μm
