Any quick and easy way to visualize UV?

I want to evaluate some camouflage, and part of that involves testing under near UV to see how it appears to animals.

Any easy way to do that?

Get a UV light or uv pass filter and find a CMOS camera that doesn't have UV filter, or If you can see UV then just get the UV light and use a dark room.

I bought this kit, it has a UV light, blocking spray, and detergent that doesn't contain UV brighteners. The light is an eye opener. And do not wash your hunting clothes in regular detergent, they add in brighteners.

I already buy that detergent for hunting and work out clothes - good stuff, more for odors than stains.

But, just a plain UV light doesn't actually show you what something looks like in UV.
