With a near UV light digital Camera you can capture very detailed data, which can be undetected by human eyes. Below are images depicting the greater detail (scratches, blemished, etc.)
that can be captured when using a UV camera versus a standard camera.

What Is Ultraviolet Light?
Ultraviolet light is part of the light spectrum, which is classified into three wavelength ranges:
UV-C from 100 nanometers to 280 nm;
UV-B from 280nm to 315 nm; and,
UV-A from 315 nm to 400nm.
These waves are invisible to the human eye, but some insects like bumblebees, can see them. The human eye responds to light with wavelengths from about 400 nm (violet) to 700 nm (red).
Visible light waves are the only electromagnetic waves we can see. We see these waves as the colors of the rainbow. Each color has a different wavelength. Red has the longest wavelength and violet has the shortest. When all the waves are seen together, they make white light.
What Is the Dino-Lite near UV series light output power (mW or mW/cm2)?
The light output power of the near UV LED for
AD4013T-FVW is about 16mW x 4 LED = 64mW
AM4013-FVT is about 16mW x 8 LED = 128mW
AM4013T-FV2W is about 11mW x 4 LED = 44mW
