Instead of relying on externally induced flow or probe motion, we suggest that colloidal diffusivity near solid surfaces contains signatures of the degree of fluid slip exhibited on those surfaces. To investigate, we calculate the image system for point forces Stokeslets oriented perpendicular and parallel to a surface with a finite slip length, analogous to Blake’s solution for a Stokeslet near a no-slip wall. Notably, the image system for the point source and perpendicular Stokeslet contain the same singularities as Blake’s solution; however, each is distributed along a line with a magnitude that decays exponentially over the slip length. The image system for the parallel Stokeslet involves a larger set of fundamental singularities, whose magnitude does not decay exponentially from the surface. Using these image systems, we determine the wall-induced correction to the diffusivity of a small spherical particle located “far” from the wall. We also calculate the coupled diffusivities between mu
