Abstract
Abstract A silver halide photographic emulsion is described, which has halogen composition comprises at least 60 mole % of silver chloride, 40 mole % or less of silver bromide, and 5 mole % or less of silver bromide. Grain formation is performed in the presence of a silver halide solvent selected from the group consisting of tetrasubstituted thioureas and organic thioethers, and from 10 -8 to 10 -5 mole of a water-soluble iridium compound per mole of silver halide. This photographic emulsion exhibits high sensitivity and provides high contrast even by flash exposure. Thus, it is useful for the production of light-sensitive materials to be used in the production of printing plates in accordance with photographic engraving.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
156 words
Silver halide photographic emulsion having silver halide grains, comprising: (a) silver chloride in an amount of 60 mol% or more; (b) silver bromide in an amount of 40 mol% or less; and (c) silver iodide in an amount of 5 mol% or less, wherein the grains are formed in the presence of (i) a silver halide solvent, wherein said silver halide solvent is a tetra-substituted thiourea represented by the general formula: ##STR6## wherein R 1 , R 2 , R 3 and R 4 independently represent a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group, an alkenyl group, or a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group, or wherein said R 1 and said R 2 or said R 2 and said R 3 or said R 3 and said R 4 combine together to form a 5- or 6-membered heterocyclic ring, and (ii) from 10 -8 to 10 -5 mole of a water-soluble iridium compound per mole of silver halide.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
156 words
Silver halide photographic emulsion having silver halide grains, comprising: (a) silver chloride in an amount of 60 mol% or more; (b) silver bromide in an amount of 40 mol% or less; and (c) silver iodide in an amount of 5 mol% or less, wherein the grains are formed in the presence of (i) a silver halide solvent, wherein said silver halide solvent is a tetra-substituted thiourea represented by the general formula: ##STR6## wherein R 1 , R 2 , R 3 and R 4 independently represent a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group, an alkenyl group, or a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group, or wherein said R 1 and said R 2 or said R 2 and said R 3 or said R 3 and said R 4 combine together to form a 5- or 6-membered heterocyclic ring, and (ii) from 10 -8 to 10 -5 mole of a water-soluble iridium compound per mole of silver halide.
