Making outline

Assemble sealed thermionic electron tube with electrostatic microfocus electrodes, stationary reflective target, separate photon window and thermal/vacuum interfaces
Detailed procedure and acceptance remain unresearched.

What remains unresolved

Manufacture, quantities, suitability and complete inventory remain unreviewed.
Current memory-first method needs source and compatibility review.
