Abstract
Fiducial markers are provided on patterned arrays of the type that may be used for molecular analysis, such as sequencing. The fiducials may have configurations and layouts that enhance their detection in image or detection data, that facilitate or improve processing, that provide encoding of useful information, and so forth. Examples of the fiducials may include offset layouts that may be useful in detecting the fiducials in different types and approaches in imaging, and that may help to distinguish regions of the array from one another in image data.
