Abstract (en)

This invention relates to a light-sensitive silver halide photographic emulsion comprising: tabular silver halide grains having a total projected area of at least 50% of all the grains in said emulsion, an average silver iodide content of said tabular silver halide grains being at least 5 mol%, each said tabular silver halide grains having an internal phase and an outermost layer, said internal phase having an silver iodide content of at least 18 mol%, said outermost layer having an silver iodide content of not more than 0.4 mol%, wherein a sectional plane cutting each said silver halide grain in a direction that passes through the center of said tabular silver halide grain and being perpendicular to two parallel major faces satisfies the following relation: 90/100 </= a/b </= 100/90 where a is an average silver iodide content of a region that are defined by a distance over 9d/20 as measured from the center of said tabular silver halide grain in a direction perpendicular to the major faces (where d is the distance between the two parallel major faces in association with the sectional plane), and b is an average silver iodide content of a region that are defined by a distance over 9 l /20 as measured from the center of said tabular silver halide grains in a direction parallel to the principal planes (where l is the distance between two opposing surfaces of the grain as measured in a direction that passes through the center of said tabular silver halide grain and which is parallel to the major faces in association with the sectional plane).
