A VERY MUCH stronger magnet would be required to bend the ion beam enough to travel straight down the gun.
BTW The screen is coated with "phosphor*" not the element phosphorous, many confuse the two terms.
*For example, "white" P4 Phosphor is actually a mix of "blue" Zinc Sulfide (silver and zinc doped) and "Yellow" Cadmium Sulfide (silver doped).

Thanks.
I keep having people with degrees as high as PhD's ask me to coat viewers with Red Phosphorus when they mean Red Phosphor. They think I'm strange for expecting them to know that much chemistry. I'm the one who should be confused, chemistry was my worst subject.
