Abstract
Abstract This invention provides a photographic silver halide emulsion containing more than 30 percent by weight, based on the total silver halide crystals, of silver halide crystals which have only one twinning plane in a crystal and of which boundary planes with a dispersing medium comprise a (100) plane, a (111) plane or mixed planes thereof. The silver halide emulsion of this invention is monodispersible and provides a high optical sensitization rate and less occurrence of fog. Moreover, the emulsion has a high contrast characteristic and a high development rate. The emulsion of this invention has a further feature of reducing reciprocity law failure.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
66 words
A PHOTOGRAPHIC SILVER HALIDE EMULSION COMPRISING A DISPERSING MEDIUM CONTAINING SILVER HALIDE CRYSTALS OF WHICH A PROPORTION OF MORE THAN 30 PERCENT BY WEIGHT OF THE SILVER HALIDE CRYSTALS HAVE ONLY ONE TWINNING PLANE IN EACH CRYSTAL AND OF WHICH THE BONDARY PLANES WITH THE DISPERSING MEDIUM COMPRISE A (100) PLANE, A (111) PLANE OR MIXED (100) AND (111) PLANES TO THE TOTAL SILVER HALIDE CRYSTALS.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
66 words
A PHOTOGRAPHIC SILVER HALIDE EMULSION COMPRISING A DISPERSING MEDIUM CONTAINING SILVER HALIDE CRYSTALS OF WHICH A PROPORTION OF MORE THAN 30 PERCENT BY WEIGHT OF THE SILVER HALIDE CRYSTALS HAVE ONLY ONE TWINNING PLANE IN EACH CRYSTAL AND OF WHICH THE BONDARY PLANES WITH THE DISPERSING MEDIUM COMPRISE A (100) PLANE, A (111) PLANE OR MIXED (100) AND (111) PLANES TO THE TOTAL SILVER HALIDE CRYSTALS.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
23 words
