Mycobacterium tuberculosis: Fluorescent microscopy can be used to detect Mycobacterium tuberculosis in clinical specimens, especially when using specific fluorescent dyes (like auramine-rhodamine) that bind to the mycobacterial cell wall. This method allows for the visualization of the bacteria under a fluorescence microscope, making it a valuable tool in the diagnosis of tuberculosis.

1. Incubation period: This term is typically used for infectious diseases and refers to the time between exposure to the infectious agent and the onset of symptoms.

2. Serial interval: This refers to the time between successive cases in a chain of transmission, specifically in infectious diseases.

3. Latent period: This is the time from the initiation of the disease process (or exposure to a risk factor) until the disease is detectable or until symptoms appear. In non-infectious diseases, this period can be significant, as the disease may be developing without any noticeable symptoms.

4. Lag time: This term can refer to various delays in processes but is not specifically defined in the context of disease initiation and detection.
