Further, a component through which the produced emulsion flows is stacked thereover to form a microfluidic device for emulsification. When they are stacked together, multiple minute cross-shaped globule production portions are formed and in these globule production portions, the disperse phase flows from downward to upward. The continuous phase merges into them from left and right to form a sheath flow in which the continuous phase encircles the circumference of the disperse phase.
