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 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 an "always on" type that respond to multiple frequencies of radiation used during processing and detection so as to return signals during successive cycles of imaging. |
