It is to measure liquids to specific amounts to be used in the scientific experiments.
Sometimes called a graduated cylinder usually ruled with lines at each millilter or fraction thereof. A more common example would be a measuring cup ruled or marked in fractions of a cup though not all measuring cups have circular cross-sections.

What is used to measure amount of milk in a small glass?
a graduated cylinder
Why is a layer of oil placed in the measuring cylinder when measuring the amount of water taken up by a plant?
The layer of oil is placed in the measuring cylinder to prevent evaporation of water from the plant sample due to air exposure. This ensures that the water taken up by the plant is accurately measured without any loss.
What is the name of laboratory measuring tube?
The laboratory measuring tube is commonly known as a graduated cylinder. It is a cylindrical container with markings along the side to indicate different volume measurements.
What piece of laboratory equipment is best suited for accurately measuring the volume of liquid?
use a graduated cylinder with the lowest capacity (greater than 26ml) if extreme accuracy is needed, (as I suspect with the small amount stated) I might use a scale, measuring by weight instead of volume (dropper may be needed to add to weight needed).... but you must adjust weight according to specific gravity or the only accurate liquid measured by 25.3 grams weight would be WATER :P
