By suitable adjustments of amplitudes and phases of three acoustic fields in three-axis acoustic levitator, orientation of aspherical levitated object controlled, and degree of asphericity measured. Orientation-and-measurement technique used to manipulate workpieces during containerless processing or to measure approach to desired asphericity in small objects like targets for laser-fusion experiments. Several versions of technique.
