How much can a gamma knife, or X-ray beam be collimated/focused to ionize neurons in the brain at micron cubic ranges.

I have been told that gamma beams cannot work with ball lenses, but X-rays, and other electromagnetic radiation, I am unsure about.

how much can gamma knife beams be collimated without using ball lenses.

What would be the smallest cubic area in the brain you could ionize, without gamma beams passing through a ball lens.

Can you tell me the effects for X-Rays, and other electromagnetic radiation, if they can pass through a ball lens or not.

If you can ionize neurons at micron scales you can stop the spread of Parkinson's disease throughout the brain.

It would be tricky, and complex, but not impossible.

You could probably erase memories specifically in an animal also, with this technique.

Thank you for your help with this question.

Once you get into the UV, optics become very difficult. Very few materials can be used since most are opaque. Once you get into x-rays (or deep enough into UV), you can't build any kind of traditional optics. The photons ionize the atoms in the material.
