A bottom-up integration scheme for calculating the interaction potential between two spheres. One begins with calculating the potential between (a) a single molecule and a circular thin disc. The obtained result is used to construct the potential between (b) a single molecule and the bottom sphere. Similar integration scheme is applied to the upper sphere so as to obtain the potentials between (c) a sphere and a circular thin disc and (d) two spheres.
