(a) Diagram of a vesicle adhered to a substrate by a short-ranged potential. The length scale of the potential is δA, and in the regime where this length scale is small, the vesicle's membrane has three asymptotic regions that are labelled. (b) The three types of equilibria considered in this paper. Bold lines represent the regions of the membrane that are in contact with the substrate in the limiting case δA=0 of a contact potential, and crosses represent the isolated points where pinned shapes touch the substrate.
