No.

It has 18 mirrors.

Each mirror must be adjusted within a tolerance of 10 nanometers before all the mirrors focus as one image.

Because of the extreme cold, only slight adjustments are made over many months to avoid any possibility of damage to each panel.

Do you lack reading comprehension?

No we did not miss the prescription.

When the 18 segments are properly aligned the Webb will produce stunning results

There is no mirroe.

There is an array of I believe 11 mirrors that require fine adjustment after initial deployment
