If you believe NCIS and so forth, UV makes blood and other bodily fluids
glow bright green. (I never did figure out why...)

I've been watching Richard Hammond's Invisible Worlds. Some very cool
stuff, but unfortunately the cool stuff is only on screen for, like, 2
seconds, and then we get Hammond chattering some more.
I'd love to do the whole trip with time-lapse photography, high-speed
photography, UV and thermographs, etc. In fact, I've often wondered what
the world would look like if you would see radio waves. (I'm guessing
that due to the absurdly long wavelength, most objects would be too
blurry to see.) I've even wondered what the world would look like if you
could see sound.
(Eyes and ears both detect waves. Eyes detect only three frequency
bands, but with ludicrous spatial resolution. Ears detect waves with
rubbish spatial resolution, but insane frequency resolution.)
