Silver halide-photographic light-sensitive material |
(57) A silver halide photographic light-sensitive material improved in sensitivity, graininess
and preservability is provided, comprising a support having thereon a silver halide
emulsion layer containing silver halide tabular grains having a diameter of not less
than 0.3 µm and a ratio of 1/d of less than 0.4, in which the the thickness of a tabular
grain is denoted by d and the distance between the tabular grain's principal plane
and its twin plane nearest to the principal plane is denoted by 1, and the tabular
grains accounting for not less than 50% of the total projected area of silver halide
grains contained in said emulsion layer.
