• a photographic silver halide emulsion composition comprising a sensitizing dye shown by general formula (I) alkyl group; X represents an anion, n stands for 1 or 2; and m stands for l or 2, and a compound shown by general formula R3-Z( INHA-NH-I TZR3 V Y 14 R4 (ll) S 03M S 03M S 03M @CONH S aM wherein M represents a member selected from the group consisting of a hydrogen atom, an alkali metal, ammonium. and an amino group.
• the sensitivity of a definite emulsion sensitized by a definite sen sitizing dye can be varied by changing the properties of the emulsion. For instance, the sensitivity of a silver halide emulsion can be increased by increasing the silver ion concentration or by reducing the hydrogen ion concentration or by a combination thereof.
• the silver halide emulsion sensitized in such a way has the disadvantage that the preservability thereof is generally bad.
• supersensitizing action that is, a phenomenon of increasing the sensitivity of a silver halide emulsion by incorporating in the emulsion a compound along with a sensitizing dye without changing the properties of the emulsion as mentioned above, e.g., without changing the silver ion concentration and the hydrogen ion concentration of the emulsion.
• the compound which is used together with the sen sitizing dye is generally called a supersensitizer.
• a mesosubstituted dicarbocyanine As the spectral sensitizer for a photographic silver halide emulsion, there are usually used dicarbocyanines. Among them, a mesosubstituted dicarbocyanine has a merit in that the formation of fog in a silver halide emulsion sensitized by it is very low as compared with the case of using mesounsubstituted dicarbocyanines. In some cases, however, the addition of the mesosubstituted dicarbocyanine to a silver halide emulsion is accompanied by a reduction in sensitivity. Particularly in the case of using a dicarbocyanine, the mesoposition of which has been substituted with a halogen, the sensitivity of the silver halide emulsion containing the dicarbocyanine is reduced markedly.
• an object of the present invention is to provide a photographic silver halide emulsion in which a mesosub stituted carbocyanine and a specific supersensitizer, as mentioned below, have been incorporated to improve the sensitivity thereof and reduce the formation of fogs.
