Imaging and force measurement of LDL and HDL by AFM in air and liquid

•AFM measured the equivalent diameters of LDL (∼22.7 nm) and HDL (∼14.4 nm) in PBS.•AFM detected the mean Young’s moduli of LDL (∼0.39 GPa) and HDL (∼0.47 GPa) in PBS.•AFM detected the mean adhesive forces of LDL (∼0.19 nN) and HDL (∼0.15 nN) in PBS.•AFM detected much larger sizes of Young’s moduli...
