To take an accurate reading of the meniscus in a liquid - containing container like a graduated cylinder, one must avoid parallax error. Parallax error occurs when the line of sight is not perpendicular to the measurement scale. The correct way is to have the eye level exactly parallel to the meniscus so that the reading is not distorted.
