  • Light-sensitive silver halide emulsions which comprise a disulphide compound of the formula:
  • A is a sulpho group or a sulpho group carrying substituent
  • the sulpho group beingin acid or salt form, and R is hydrogen or a substitutent.
  • the emulsion has improved stability and fogging characteristics.
  • This invention relates to photographic materials, more particularly" to light-sensitive silver halide emulsions comprising compounds having fog-inhibiting or stabilizing properties.

  • the compounds according to the present invention are generally incorporated into the silver halide emulsion layer of the light-sensitive material.
  • the way in which the compounds of use according to the invention are added to the emulsions is not critical and the addition can be made during no matter what step of emulsion preparation, they can be added before or after the emulsion has been optically sensitized, preferably just before coating of the emulsion on a suitable support such as for example paper, glass or film.
  • the compounds of the invention can also be incorporated into another water-permeable colloid layer of the photographic material, e.g. a gelatin antistress layer or intermediate layer, which is in water-permeable relationship with the said emulsion layer.
