The potential of mean force ${\mathcal{W}}_{\mathrm{t}}$ as a function of the tether length l_t, extracted with ℛ_bead = 50 nm, from membranes with ℒ_patch = 0.51 μm and 1.02 μm, and excess areas ${\mathcal{A}}_{\text{ex}}=10\mathrm{\%}$ and 40%. Data for κ= 20 k_BT are shown in panel (a) and that for κ = 40 k_BT is shown in panel (b).
