Definition of meniscus in English: meniscusnounPlural menisci mɪˈnɪskəsməˈnɪskəs Physics 1The curved upper surface of a liquid in a tube. 〔物理〕弯（月）液面 Example sentencesExamples - It is based on the analysis of light reflection at a fluid meniscus whose radius of curvature is related to its surface tension.
- 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.
- 1.1usually as modifier A lens that is convex on one side and concave on the other.
弯月形透镜，凹凸透镜 Example sentencesExamples - It's the same with lenses; in addition, the self-centering problem is even more pronounced for meniscus shapes and other optics with long focal lengths.
- Petzval produced an achromatic portrait lens that was vastly superior to the simple meniscus lens then in use.
- Invented in 1876, the Mangin mirror consists of a meniscus negative lens with a mirrored convex second surface.
- 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.
- In January 1992, arthrography was done of the left knee, which showed according to Dr. Bernard Parent no sign of any tearing of the meniscus.
- DeSagana Diop had surgery yesterday to repair a torn meniscus and will be out four to six weeks.
- Within a week of having 85 per cent of his meniscus removed, he was running, and three days later he was back playing for the Swans.
- He had a torn meniscus, which is the same thing, it's a torn muscle.
