Photographic silver halide emulsion, photographic light-sensitive material using same emulsion, and method of processing same light-sensitive material

摘要

A photographic silver halide emulsion is disclosed, comprising tabular grains: the tabular grains having a silver chloride content of at least 95 mole %, an aspect ratio of at least 2 and a distance between the main planes of 0.13 mum or less; wherein the tabular grains occupy at least 90%, based on total projected area, of the total silver halide grains in the emulsion and have a variation coefficient of 20% or less in the distance between the main planes; and a silver halide photographic material comprising a support having thereon the silver halide emulsion and a method of development-processing the silver halide photographic material are disclosed.
