- Another coverslip was placed inside the cylinder floating on top of the liquid layer, in order to obtain a flat meniscus.
- I recall spending lengthy moments reading the meniscus on a thermometer to determine the precise temperature reading in an experiment.
- When the water column is cut, the pressure of the water column is increased to atmospheric pressure when the meniscus is flat.
- The curve of the meniscus between the fluids can be altered with currents sent through the tube, which changes the focus of the lens.
1. 1.1usually as modifier A lens that is convex on one side and concave on the other.
  弯月形透镜，凹凸透镜
  a meniscus lens
  Example sentencesExamples

2. 1.2Anatomy A thin fibrous cartilage between the surfaces of some joints, e.g. the knee.
  〔剖〕半月板
  Example sentencesExamples
  In some cases, there may not be a specific injury, but the meniscus can tear due to repetitive loads and chronic degeneration.

  DeSagana Diop had surgery yesterday to repair a torn meniscus and will be out four to six weeks.
