Nomarsky differential interferential light microscopy of Trypanosoma cruzi epimastigote forms incubated in the absence or presence of solenopsins. Cultures of wild type (A–C) or overexpressing PI3K (D–F) CL-Brener epimastigotes maintained for 48 h in the absence (A, D) or presence of 0.3 µM of solenopsins from S. invicta (B, E) and S. saevissima (C, F), respectively, were collected, washed in PBS and processed for observations in light microscopy as detailed in M&M. Bars = 10 µm.
