Francium is a highly radioactive alkali metal. i don't think anyone can take a photo of just one Fr molecule. have a look at the links below.

An atomic force microscope would get you a picture of the texture of the electric fields of the atoms. It would look like balls packed together. The AFM is good to get a look at crystalline structure, but you can't probe the inside of an atom with one. A TEM (transmission scanning electron microscope) can do that too. X-rays diffraction is a great method to determine crystalline structure. But as far as a real live picture, we don't have the technology. We can only experiment by shooting atoms with protons, electrons, etc, and see what happens when they collide.

Fr does not form molecules. It is an alkali metal.
