19. There is a mistake in the expression for the confinement potential in Ref., such that for RBCs it is 3μ fC instead of 4μ fC. T. Auth, personal communication (7 October 2008).
20. With DM we can measure the local mean curvature of RBCs. We neglected the Gaussian curvature, which in our case can cause an error of at most 13% in the calculation of the confinement potentials. T. Auth, personal communication (7 October 2008).
