A meniscus, but whether it has a positive curve or a negative one depends on whether it wets the glass.
When reading the volume of fluid in a graduated cylinder, the eye should be at the same level as the meniscus (the curve at the surface of the liquid). This helps to avoid parallax error and ensures an accurate reading of the volume.
As the diameter of the container decreases, the meniscus becomes more pronounced. The meniscus may be convex (curving upward) or concave (curving downward). Most of the time you will find that the meniscus is concave. The most notable exception is the meniscus that forms from mercury. When taking measurement readings it is important that the reading is done properly. The following rules must be adhered to: I. Read the meniscus at eye level. Do not read the meniscus from above or below eye level. Significant measurement errors may occur II. Read the bottom of a concave meniscus and the top of a convex meniscus.
A saline meniscus test is a diagnostic procedure used to assess the integrity of the meniscus in the knee joint. It involves injecting saline solution into the knee joint to create a meniscus-like bulge. By evaluating the stability and response of this saline meniscus, healthcare providers can gather information about the condition of the knee's meniscus.
You should always measure at the lowest part of the meniscus. The meniscus is a slight curvature at the top of a liquid in a container.
Level with the bottom of the fluid's meniscus
The answer depends on the liquid, or more specifically, how the surface tension in the liquid affects the meniscus. It should be the top of the meniscus for liquids such as mercury but the bottom for liquids such as water or alcohol.

You *don't* read the line where the fluid meets the glass. You look past it, to the middle of the downward curve in the fluid, the "meniscus" and read from that.

Water's meniscus curves up. Mercury's meniscus curves down.
You measure from the bottom curve of the meniscus.
