0 a curved piece of cartilage inside a joint (= place where two bones are connected) of the body such as the knee -- 半月板（膝盖等关节处的软骨组织圆盘）
1 on a liquid, a surface that curves either out or in as a result of surface tension -- （表面张力形成的）弯液面
Figure 7d shows the meniscus fill to the fissure.
Beyond this meniscus there is no further suction.
What is detectable depends strongly on the means of illuminating, magnifying, and viewing the film-splitting meniscus deep within the narrow gap between the rolls.
The samples were pipetted from underneath the mineral oil to ensure a positive meniscus.
On each occasion an unused coverslip was placed over the meniscus and left in place for 5 min before examining for eggs.
The origin is the centre of curvature of the undisturbed meniscus.
The image is not a line segment because the curvature of the meniscus perpendicular to the roll axis spreads the narrow sheet of light.
They examined a number of ad hoc boundary conditions at the meniscus for the nearly rectilinear steady flow and the resulting stability criterion.
