Abstract
Abstract A silver halide photographic light-sensitive material is disclosed. The material is comprised of a support base having positioned thereon a silver halide emulsion layer and a protective layer. The silver halide emulsion layer includes at least two component layers including an upper layer and a lower layer. The upper layer is comprised of a photosensitive silver halide emulsion and the lower layer is comprised of a photosensitive silver halide emulsion and an inside fogged silver halide emulsion. The particle size of the inside fogged silver halide emulsion is smaller than that of the photosensitive silver halide emulsion in the upper layer and the lower layer. The material is highly sensitive and forms images which have high contrast and high density. The material is capable of forming images having a pure black tone. When the materials are processed they create substantially no stain even if a stopping bath is not utilized.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
121 words
A silver halide photographic light-sensitive material, comprising: a support base having positioned thereon: a silver halide emulsion layer; and a protective layer; the silver halide emulsion layer being comprised of an upper layer and lower layer, the upper layer comprising a photosensitive silver halide emulsion, the lower layer comprising a photosensitive silver halide emulsion and an inside fogged silver halide emulsion, and the particle size of the inside fogged silver halide is smaller than that of the particle size of the photosensitive silver halide in the upper layer and the lower layer wherein the photosensitive silver halide emulsion in the upper layer and the lower layer contains silver iodide in an amount within the range of 0.1 to 30% by mol.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
121 words
A silver halide photographic light-sensitive material, comprising: a support base having positioned thereon: a silver halide emulsion layer; and a protective layer; the silver halide emulsion layer being comprised of an upper layer and lower layer, the upper layer comprising a photosensitive silver halide emulsion, the lower layer comprising a photosensitive silver halide emulsion and an inside fogged silver halide emulsion, and the particle size of the inside fogged silver halide is smaller than that of the particle size of the photosensitive silver halide in the upper layer and the lower layer wherein the photosensitive silver halide emulsion in the upper layer and the lower layer contains silver iodide in an amount within the range of 0.1 to 30% by mol.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
48 words
A silver halide photographic light-sensitive material as claimed in claim 1, wherein the sensitivity of the photosensitive silver halide emulsion in the upper layer and the lower layer is 10 or more times greater than the sensitivity of the inside fogged silver halide emulsion in the lower layer.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
47 words
A silver halide photographic light-sensitive material as claimed in claim 2, wherein the sensitivity of the photosensitive halide emulsion in the upper layer and the lower layer is 100 or more times greater than the sensitivity of the inside fogged silver halide emulsion in the lower layer.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
37 words
A silver halide photographic light-sensitive material as claimed in claim 1, wherein the photosensitive silver halide emulsion in the upper layer and the lower layer contains silver iodide in an amount of 0.5 to 10% by mol.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
36 words
