Answers to jcast: Yes, this is a thought experiment. Still, it should not be difficult to do this in practice. The particle stream count should not matter -- that was the topic of the last GRED! The opaque screen does NOT obscure either slit from the source. Therefore, yes, there is a direct line of sight from the source to each slit in the slit screen. I hope this is a help.
