Abstract

Abstract A silver halide photographic material which has at least one silver halide emulsion layer comprising silver chloride or silver chlorobromide grains which has a bromide content of 5 mol % or less, and containing a rhodium salt in an amount of from 1×10 -6 to 5×10 -4 mole per mole of silver in said layer, and contains both a hydrazine derivative and a dye having an absorption peak in the wavelength region of from 400 nm to 550 nm in at least one of said emulsion layer another hydrophilic colloid layer, to thereby control the ratio of sensitivity at 360 nm to sensitivity at 400 nm (S 360 /S 400 ratio) to not less than 30, thereby achieving ultra-high contrast, high sensitivity, and a satisfactory aptitude for safelight.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim 123 words
A silver halide photographic material which has at least one silver halide emulsion layer comprising silver halide grains selected from silver chloride grains and silver chlorobromide grains which have a bromide content of 5 mol % or less, and containing a rhodium salt in an amount of from 1×10 -6 to 5×10 -4 mole per mole of silver in said layer, and contains both a hydrazine derivative and a dye having an absorption peak in the wavelength range of from 400 nm to 550 nm in at least one of said emulsion layer and another hydrophilic colloid layer, to thereby control the ratio of sensitivity at 360 nm to sensitivity at 400 nm (S 360 /S 400 ratio) to not less than 30/1.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 123 words
A silver halide photographic material which has at least one silver halide emulsion layer comprising silver halide grains selected from silver chloride grains and silver chlorobromide grains which have a bromide content of 5 mol % or less, and containing a rhodium salt in an amount of from 1×10 -6 to 5×10 -4 mole per mole of silver in said layer, and contains both a hydrazine derivative and a dye having an absorption peak in the wavelength range of from 400 nm to 550 nm in at least one of said emulsion layer and another hydrophilic colloid layer, to thereby control the ratio of sensitivity at 360 nm to sensitivity at 400 nm (S 360 /S 400 ratio) to not less than 30/1.
