Xrays have smaller wavelengths, and can only been seen from the shadows it makes on xray paper.

X-rays have a shorter wavelength than ultraviolet, thus making them smaller photons, hard x-radiation has a wavelength around .01 nanometers and ultraviolet has a wavelength around 10 nanometers at the shortest wavelength. This means it is easier for the smaller x-rays to penetrate the human body than ultraviolet wavelengths. 1000 nanometers = 1 micron, 1000000 microns = 1 millimeter
