I don't see how it's possible without an actual photograph of the virus. Then after that, you've got to prove that the virus actually makes people sick and not being some other pathogen.

Cant photograph or video a virus size of 100 nm (the same for extracellular vessicles) due to diffraction limits. The best of super resolution microscopes (Zeiss, Olympus, etc) get you down to 100nm horizontal, 200nm axial resolution, enough to separate two 100nm targets as two targets, but not enough resolution to show actual structure of such targets and identify them.
You can do transmission electron microscopy at higher resolution, but you end up destroying the sample, getting a structural computer image generated snapshot without distinct bilogical features and without video of it in action. These images of sars-cov-2 virus exist in published peer review papers, just go to Pubmed and search.
You can whole genome sequence the Sars-Cov-2 virus base pair RNA genome using primer-free sequencing (without NAAT, without LAMP, without standard rt-PCR silliness) using latest sequencing methods, (like Oxford Nanopore or BIOPAC). This way you can get a computer readout of the genetic fingerprint and compare it to other viruses, but not get a photo. Thousands of these exist alread. Go to NextStrain.Org.
Electro microscope probably another scam. They fake big things so they probably fake the small things too. DNA isolated out of genes probably another scam, something that used to be science fiction that suddenly become real. We know that police used to fake evidence on suspects they know is guilty, that is probably the modern version of DNA.
