Facility Operator Support for Aria
Tim Knaak is available as Facility Aria operator. You will be able to book Tim using the Facility Aria web scheduler.

Additional Operator Support for All Instruments
We now offer additional operator support for people who are unable to obtain a staff operator+instrument appointment that meets their needs. This will include some operator availability outside the normal staff operator hours of 10am-4pm. Since several of our staff members will be contributing part time, supplemental appointments will have to be made individually and we cannot guarantee that every request can be accommodated (particularly on short notice). To request a back-up operator appointment, please contact us at 725-8463 or email us at facs-issues@lists.stanford.edu Include information about the instrument and times that would work for you, and include a good telephone contact number.
