Definitions
- a solarization type photosensitive material is known to have a relatively high sensitivity.
- a silver halide photosensitive material to which a suitable fog has been imparted in advance is employed and a direct positive image is obtained by utilizing the phenomenon of solarization.
- an ammoniac silver bromoiodide emulsion is suitable as the silver halide emulsion of such direct positive photosensitive material of the solarization type.
- the fatal defect of this ammoniac silver bromoiodide emulsion is that only a low maximum concentration and only a high minimum concentration are obtained.
- Various investigations have heretofore been made with a view to improving this defect.
- a soluble salt of a group VIII metal such as a soluble rhodium salt or a soluble iridium salt.
- the direct positive photosensitive amterial according to this proposal is defective in that the contrast is low and a sufficient brightness is not obtained in the high-light portion.
- This invention relates to a direct positive silver halide photosensitive material comprising an ammoniac silver halide emulsion and incorporated therein, (a) at least one compound selected from soluble rhodium salts and soluble iridium salts, (b) a reducing agent, a gold compound, (d) at least 105 mole percent, based on the gold compound, of at least one compound selected from thiosulfates, thiocyanates and prussic acid salts, and (e) and optically sensitizing agent.
- silver halide emulsions are prepared by the neutral method, the acid method and the ammonia method.
- the neutral method of acid method has inevitably some defects. For instance, a spectral sensitization by an optically sensitizing dye is insufficient, or a sufficient sensitivity or high brightness in the low concentration portion is not obtained.
- an ammoniac silver halide emulsion to be used in this invention is one prepared by a customary ammonia method.
- an ammoniac silver halide emulsion is generally prepared by mixing an aqueous solution of a water-soluble silver salt such as silver nitrate with an aqueous solution of a watersoluble halogen salt such as ammonium bromide and potassium iodide in gelatin or a hydrophilic organic colloid, or with a halogen-saltcontaining, hydrophilic organic colloidal solution. The preparation is conducted in the presence of ammonia, and this ammonia may be in the state incorporated in the silver salt solution or the halogen salt solution.
- Ammonia may also be in the state incorporated in the hydrophilic colloidal solution, or it may be added separately in the form of an independent solution.
- the silver salt solution and the halogen salt solution they may beadded simultaneously or separately. Alternately, these solutions are divided into portions, and these divided portions are added in succession. It is also possible to adopt a method in which silver chloride or silver chloride or silver bromide is formed in advance and it is then converted to silver bromide or silver iodide.
- the foregoing mixing and physical ripening operation is generally carried out at a temperature ranging form 20 to C., preferably from 30 to 50C.
- the p of the reaction mixture is adjusted above 9, preferably above 11.
- Ammonia is used in an amount to re-dissolve silver oxide formed when ammonia is added to a water-soluble silver salt solution. This amount is within a range of from 50 to 200 percent, preferably from to percent, based on the silver oxide.
- a preferable silver halide is silver bromoiodide containing 0.5 to 5 mole percent of silver iodide. It is desired that the average particle diameter of the silver halide is less than 2a, and especially good results are obtained when the average particle diameter of the silver halide is less than 0.6a.
- the ripening is generally conducted in the presence of excessive silver nitrate or at such a high temperature as ranging from 60 to 80C., or a method of conducting the physical ripening while making present silver chloride having a high solublility is usually adopted.
- the soluble rhodium salt or iridium salt to be used in this invention exhibits effects of preventing desensitization owing to kinking and giving a good direct positive image even by high-illuminance, short-time exposure.
- Preferred examples of the soluble rhodium salt include rhodium halides and hexahalogenorhodates.
- Preferred examples of the iridium salt include iridium trihalides, iridium tetrahalides, hexahalogenoiridic (III) acids, their sa1ts,'and hexahalogenoiridic (IV) acids and their salts.
- these soluble salts are added to an emulsion at the step of mixing a silver halide (forming an emulsion) or at the step of the physical ripening, and they are added in amounts of 0.001 to 10.0 millimoles per mole of the silver halide.
- a suitable fog is imparted to the silver halide emulsion to be used in this invention.
- the fogging is accomplished by incorporating in the silver halide emulsion a reducing agent and a gold compound and making copresent at least one compound selected from thiocyanates, thiosulfates and prussic acid salts. It is also possible to obtain a good fog when the fogging is effected 3 by a reducing agent and a gold compound in advance and then at least one compound selected from thiosulfates, thiocyanates and prussic acid salts is incorporated in the fogged emulsion.
- Reaction conditions for fogging the silver halide may be varied within'a broad range.
- the P is generally adjusted within a range of 5.5 to 9, preferably 6 to 7.
- the PAg is generally within a range of 6.5 to 8.5
- the temperature is generally adjusted to 40 to 100C., preferably 50 to 75C.
- the hydrophilic protective colloid for suspending the silver halide particles during the fogging treatment such as gelatin, is used preferably in an amount of 30 to 200g per mole of the silver halide.
- the reducing agent there are conventiently used aldehyde compounds such as formalin, organic amines such as hydrazine, triethylene tetramine, thiourea dioxide and imino-amino-methane-sulfonic acid,and other organic reducing agents.
- organic amines such as hydrazine, triethylene tetramine, thiourea dioxide and imino-amino-methane-sulfonic acid,and other organic reducing agents.
- inorganic reducing agents such as stannous chloride and such reducing agents as amine borane are also conveniently used.
- concentration of the reducing agent used is changed depending on the silverhalide particle size, the kind of the silver halide, the intended use and other factors, and it differs also depending on eht kind of the reducing per se. In general, however, the reducing agent is used in an amount of 0.001 to l millimoles per mole of the silver halide.
- gold compound to be used in this invention there maybe mentioned soluble salts of monovalent or trivalent gold, such as chloroauric acd, gold thiocyanate, sodium chloroaurate, potassium aurate, potassium chloroaurate, potassium gold cyanide, potassium bromaurate, potassium iodoaurate, potassium gold thiocyanide, sodium gold thiomaleate, gold thioglucose and the like.
- soluble salts of monovalent or trivalent gold such as chloroauric acd, gold thiocyanate, sodium chloroaurate, potassium aurate, potassium chloroaurate, potassium gold cyanide, potassium bromaurate, potassium iodoaurate, potassium gold thiocyanide, sodium gold thiomaleate, gold thioglucose and the like.
- the amount used of the gold compound is changed depending on the size of the silver halide particles, the composition of the silver hlide and the intended use, but it is generally used in an amount of 0.0001 to 0.1 millimoles, preferably 0.005 to 0.5 milliomoes, per mole of the silver halide. Good results are obtained when the gold compound is used at such a low concentration.
- thiosulfate, thiosulfate, thiocyanate and prussic acid salt there are preferably used sodium thiosulfate, potassium thiocyanate, ammonium thiocyanate, potassium cyanide, sodium cyanide, and complex salts thereof.
- Such compound is generally used in an amount of 0.0003 to 100.0 millimoles, pref erably 0.01 tolO millimoles per mole of the sliver halide.
- the ratio of the gold compound and reducing agent used for imparting fog to the silver halide emulsion varies depending on various factors, but optimum results are generally obtained when said ratio is within a range of l 3 to l 200 (on the weight basis).
- the optically sensitizing dye to be used in this invention is selected from optically sensitizing dyes customarily used for ordinary negative type silver halide emulsions. For instance, cyanines, merocyanines, pseudocyanines, hemicyanines and the like are generally used. Although it has been known in the art to employ these optically sensitizing dyes for direct positive photographic emulsions, they are generally defective in that they cause excessive softening.
