Diagnosis of tuberculosis by direct sputum microscopy is the method of choice whenever possible. Direct microscopy is relatively cheap, fairly easy to perform and much more specific than chest x-ray.

A direct microscopy is not end all especially when the result is negative due to low number of bacteria. A culture is required to prove the definitive existence of the bacteria.
