Figure 4. 

(A) Mitochondrial DNA topology of epimastigote form of T. cruzi. Note the characteristic electron density through the disk. (B) Ethanolic phosphotungstic acid method, showing the more intense staining of the periphery of the disk, indicating the presence of basic proteins. Note that the nucleus of T. cruzi is stained as well, which shows the distribution of histones [34].
