To read a 1ml needle (syringe), locate the measurement markings on the side of the syringe. Each small line represents a specific increment of measurement, usually in 0.01ml or 0.1ml depending on the syringe design. Start from the bottom (nearest to the needle) and count upwards to the desired amount of liquid. Ensure there are no air bubbles in the syringe for accurate measurement. The top of the plunger should align with the measurement line for the correct dose.
