I wonder how much of the difference is due to the wavelength, and how
much is due to how the camera responds to it.

I always knew that UV was bad for your skin!

Notice how freckly she looks in UV though. That melanin really does mop
up UV very effectively, eh? (Compare to how apparently freckle-less her
skin appears under normal conditions.)

Interestingly, UV imaging can also be used in forensics to find evidence
of an injury after the bruise has faded in visible, it will show up in
UV wavelengths for quite some time.
Eventually I plan on buying an inexpensive P&S modified to capture UV,
visible and IR. Its UV capability is one of the reasons. I've always
wanted to capture what my eyes cannot.. .

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.)

Because IIRC they also use some spray that somehow reacts with the blood.
Not sure about other body fluids though.

Indeed, that's kind of the point. That's why you can listen to the radio
indoors.

Yes, we're traveling together,
but to different destinations.

You can see light indoors too. Not because it has a short wavelength,
but because certain substances do not absorb it.

That's why you can listen to the radio in the dark.

I'm not sure what you're talking about, but I know what I'm talking
about: Different materials absorb different wavelengths. There are
materials that absorb visible light, and others that let visible light
pass through it unaltered. Presumably the same thing applies to *every*
wavelength - which ought to include radio waves. You can listen to radio
indoors because not all of your house is made of metal (AFAIK the only
thing that absorbs radio waves). That's nothing to do with the size of a
radio wave, it's to do with what materials do or don't absorb it.
Now, what kind of a picture you could make with a "light" having a 2 Km
wavelength, I have no idea. I vaguely gather that there's some sort of
relationship between the wavelength of something and the size of object
you can see with it. (Hence electron microscopes have better resolution
than light microscopes, for example.)
