Using CCD detectors onboard the forthcoming X-ray observatories Chandra and XMM, it is possible to devise a measurement of the absolute density of heavy elements in the hypothetical warm gas filling intercluster space. This gas may be the largest reservoir of baryonic matter in the Universe, but even its existence has not been proven observationally at low redshifts. The proposed measurement would make use of a unique filament of galaxy clusters spanning over 700 Mpc (0.1
