Regarding Fujifilm IS Pro, it is dedicated camera with restricted distribution.
Its speciality is that there are not UV and IR blocking filters mounted in front of CCD sensor. In other means this camera is nothing so special (usually comming with Nikon lenses).
You can turn any of other Fujifilm cameras that include Fujifilm "Super CCD" sensor in IS Pro camera UV/IR capability, by open it and removing internal UV and IR blocking filters from sensor.
For so called "X-Ray" infrared photography is easy. You only need a cheap pass thru IR filter, that blocked other visible spectrum of light, including UV spectrum. And you have "X-Ray" infrared photography camera.
For UV spectrum photography (btw. this spectrum has not so called "X-Ray" capability as some of IR spectrum's has) adding UV pass thru filter is not enough. Namely standard photo lenses, made out of lead glass, filter out a good part of UV spectrum. So, apart from pass thru UV filter, we need special and not really cheap UV pass thru lenses (UV Quartz lenses - if even available for our camera) too. In most cases, if we are interesting in UV photography it is best to use cheap camera with plastic lenses which are not anti-UV coated.
In comparison to IR, UV spectrum has poor penetrating capability and is of low use in thru surface detecting. Additionally we face in UV light band with focusing problems and UV photos are more like antique sharp-less BW photography).
IR "X-Ray" photography is more interesting and easy to achieved. Its "X-Ray-ing" penetrating capability depend on IR spectrum we use (there is not only one IR spectrum).
Mentioned IS Pro camera is a little out of date and not best suited to IR photography regarding sensitivity. If sensor sensitivity is too low, we cannot detect its own IR radiating spectrum of objects (of course it depend of sensor spectrum too). IS Pro camera sensitivity is relatively poor (ISO to 3200) in comparison to some modern cameras like like Nikon D7000 or Canon EOS650D with ISO to 25600.
