20 Claims. (Cl. 95-7) This invention relates to fog-inhibiting agents and stabilizers for photographic emulsions and to photographic camera. General fog is formed in a number of ways. It
may be caused by the conditions of high temperature or humidity or unusually long time of storage. The nature of the emulsion may also produce chemical fog as well as the conditions of development of the-emulsion as by development for protracted periods of time or at temperatures above normal. fog and sensitivity changes in photographic filmsproduced by storage under adverse conditions of temperature and humidity or for prolonged periods of time before exposure and development.
General fog and loss of sensitivity of the emulsion are especially likely to occur when the sensitive material is stored under conditions other than ideal, that is, under conditions of high temperature. and humidity, as in tropical regions.
It is an object of the invention to provide novel antifogging or fog-inhibiting compounds for emulsions. A further object is to provide anti-fogging agents which stabilize the initial sensitivity of the emulsion. A still further object is to provide anti-fogging agents which improve the keeping of the emulsion in tropical regions. Other objects will appear from the following description of our invention.
These objects'are accomplished by incorporating in a silver halide emulsion a molecular compound of a mercuric salt with an amine'or with a salt of an amine.
The principal purpose of our invention is to provide a means for maintaining the sensitivity and fog of silver halide emulsions at or close to initial optimum values under keeping conditions of high temperature and humidity. The fog inhibitors which we propose to use are added to the emulsion at any stage during the process of manufacture prior to coating the emulsion to avoid loss of sensitivity and to inhibit the growth of incubation or keeping fog with passage of time under non-ideal conditions of storage. The mercury fog inhibitor may be added to the emulsion in solution in any convenient solvent not injurious to the emulsion'such as water, lower alcohols and ketones. V v
A solution of the mercuric compound which we employ when added in suitable concentration before coating to unsensitized or optically sensitized silver halide emulsions usually does not appreciably afiect the sensitometric values for sensitivity and fog when measurements are made soon after coating.- Howevenwhen sensitometric meas-,

Instead of incorporation in the silver halide emulsion the fog-inhibitors of .our invention may be incorporated in a colloid layer such as a gelatin layer on one or both sides'of the support or they may bc'incorporated in a processing bath such as a developer or pre-bath.
The fog-inhibiting agents which we have described may be used in various kinds of, photographic emulsions. In addition to being useful in ordinary non-sensitized emulsions they may also be used in orthochromatic, panchromatic and X-ray emulsions. If used with sensitizing dyes, they may be added to the emulsion before or after the dyes are added. Various silver salts may be used as the sensitive salt, such as silver bromide, silver iodide, silver chloride or mixed silver halides. The mercury compounds may be used in emulsions intended for color photography, for example, emulsions containing colorforming couplers, or emulsions to be developed by solutions containing couplers.
The dispersing agents may be gelatin or other colloid such as collodion, albumen, cellulose derivatives or synthetic resins.
It will be understood that we contemplate as included within our invention all modifications and equivalents falling within the scope'of the appended claims.
