Talk:Z-value (temperature)

Distinction from standard score
I was directed to this page after searching for 'Z-Value'. However, the Z-Value I was intent on finding was the one relating to probablility and statistics. There was no 'see also' or 'Did you mean...?' link at the top. The concept of Z-Values are fundamental to statistics and I was surprised to find no reference to them.

Z-value → Z-value (temperature) — I think this article should be renamed to differentiate it from standard score. Z-value (biology) is not distinctive enough, since standard score may deal with biology as well. Mikael Häggström (talk) 12:41, 20 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Support a disambiguation page should be primary, since "z-value" is also the vertical axis displacement in geometry, or the depth-axis-displacement in computer graphics. 65.95.14.96 (talk) 00:38, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

Microscopes?
I've been told that another meaning of Z-value has something to do with a microscopes field of view and the actual area shown, et cetera et cetera. Could someone please explain this concept to me, and perhaps make a disambiguation page or something to help other people with the same questions?
