What precautions should be kept in mind while taking measurements using a measuring cylinder?

When using a measuring cylinder, ensure the cylinder is placed on a flat surface to avoid parallax error. Read the level of the liquid at the bottom of the meniscus, not the top. Avoid overfilling the cylinder, and make sure to clean the cylinder before each use to prevent contamination.
