Measuring Liquid Volume with a Graduated Cylinder - Science Lab Guide #3893551 (License: Personal Use)

This close-up shows a transparent graduated cylinder filled with a bright cyan liquid, with clearly marked major graduations at 20, 30, and 40 mL. Between each major mark are four minor tick marks, each representing 2 mL, allowing for precise estimation to the nearest milliliter. The meniscus-the curved surface of the liquid-is visible, and proper measurement requires reading at its lowest point at eye level.

Used in educational science labs, chemistry tutorials, and laboratory procedure guides to demonstrate accurate volume measurement techniques; matches user intent for learning how to read graduated cylinders or verifying measurement accuracy.
