The UV LED option, wouldn’t that be considered UV fluorescence?

It's fluorescence if you shine UV light on the target and it emits light at a different wavelength. You'd use a UV blocking filter on the camera and record visible light.

My suggestion is to illuminate the subject with only UV light and record the reflected light. The rational being that UV LEDs and a Woods glass filter are cheaper than an interference filter like the Baader UV.
