Abstract	NanoMi [1] is a public license platform we are developing for building low-cost electron microscopy hardware as-well-as Python-based control software. A key design consideration for the NanoMi was the affordability and ease with which the components could be manufactured. This allows the NanoMi to be used as the basis for low-cost, hands-on educational lab practicals on electron microscope design, construction, and operation. Additionally, as all parts are ultra-high vacuum compatible, independent of the vacuum envelope, and modular, the platform may allow for electron-optical capabilities to be added to existing vacuum systems. All parts have been designed for sub-50 keV operation with electrostatic optics to avoid the need for water-cooling.
