Better Vision

I just rolled up Mutant Fly, and with only three Bio Points left over, I have a choice between Polarised Vision & Ultraviolet Vision.

Now, I know about Polarised Vision. It's about detecting the position of the Sun by it's direction of Sunlight and being protected from the bright light/glare of the sun or something like that.

But what does Ultraviolet vision for for me exactly and how what that differ from Night-Vision.

BTW, I rolled high on the Mutation Determination Table from the "Mutants in Orbit" book and got a choice of two major Super Powers, plus a Random Mutation.

So, I neglected to spend any BIO-E Points on actual flying powers in favour of getting the Super-Sonic Flight Super Power from Hero's Unlimited Second Edition.

I still have another choice of super power left over , and its a toss up between Alter-Metabolism (mainly for it's Healing properties.) , Divine Aura (mainly because feel the need to raise my PB, being a repulsive Mutant Fly.), Growth (Obvious reasons.) and Multiple Beings/Selves (I could become my own Swarm.).

Here are some videos that can help understanding UV Vision:

UV Vision really isn't comparable to Night Vision. Night Vision is really just low light vision, which can be higher photosensitivity or the ability to see into the infrared spectrum:
