The frequency response for the blue cones does extend into UV, although it's normally dwarfed out by blue light.

In fact, I vaugely remember someone playing about with special filters that filtered all light but UV, and wandering around looking at the UV spectrum.

That said, I remember him warning that the eyes don't normally respond to it, so maybe I'm waffling randomly.
