Don't have a picture but I can tell you how I build mine.  I make a shim out of 1X2s and then use 5/8 to 1 inch doweling to run lengthwise so they align beneath the frames.  The round doweling gives the bees more cluster and fanning space and also allows the mites and debre to slid off and out of the hive.

Some people turn the slats the other way on the theory that the mites can fall through better.

Here are the ones I've been building.  Modeled after the ones Killian used and swore by.
