It should also be noted that humans can actually see X-rays if the source is powerful enough.
There were many observations of it with a bluish glow from outside lab-doors. The thing is that’s a lethal amount of exposure so we stopped, uhm, doing that.
It’s directly visible to the naked eye when there’s enough of it. Roentgen and Brandes both stuck their eyes right next to an xray tube to see it. part of the conditions include being dark-adapted eyes. other observations seeing it “through” the door.

As far as I remember, it is Cherenkov radiation, but from the water in your eyes
