  • This invention relates to photographic materials and their preparation.
  • this invention relates to photographic emulsions comprising fogged internal image silver halide grains and unfogged surface latent image grains, which emulsions exhibit good resistance to fog on development.

  • Silver halide grains having a high ratio of surface-to-internal sensitivity comprise the silver halide grains used in the majority of photographic emulsions.
  • Silver halide grains having a high ratio of internal-tosurface sensitivity are also Well known but are less generally employed in practice. Emulsions containing such grains are described, for example, in Mees The Theory of the Photographic Process, p. 221 (Revised edition), 1954; in Journal of the Optical Society of America, 31 (1941), p. 382 and in Davey and Knott U.S. Patent 2,592,250, issued Apr. 8, 1952.

Useful results can be obtained even where the molar ratio, as explained above, is 42:1.

Exposure of the emulsion closest to the support can also be made through the support where this is transparent.
