Abstract:
THE STABILITY OF PHOTOGRAPHIC SILVER HALIDE EMULSIONS AGAINST SPONTANEOUS FOG FORMATION IS IMPROVED BY ADDITION OF AN N-(1,3,4-THIADIAZOL-2-YL)-DITHIOCARBAMIC ACID ESTER.
Abstract:
The light-sensitivity of a photographic material comprising at least one supported silver salt emulsion layer is improved by the addition of a water-soluble phosphoric acid amide as defined below.
Abstract:
The preparation of a photo-sensitive salt dispersion having salts of sparing solubility in water which results in a material having a characteristic curve of the flatter gradient type by precipitating a sparingly soluble salt in a small first volume chamber which permits the reactants to be maintained with constant uniformity through the first chamber by stirring. Conducting the resultant dispersion through a conduit to a separated ripening chamber of a second volume many times that of the precipitating first volume. The silver halide emulsion is partially recycled from the separated ripening chamber through a conduit to the precipitation reaction which is outside of the second volume and where the recycled emulsion serves as reaction medium for the further precipitation of further silver halide salts. The amount of recycled silver halide emulsion is variable to provide an influence on the flatness of the gradient of the characteristic curve of the final emulsion.
Abstract:
The stability of photographic silver halide emulsions against the formation of fog is improved by addition of substituted tetra-azaindene or pentaazaindene and N,N-dialkyl-dithiocarbamic acid esters defined herein below.
Abstract:
1. A LIGHT SENSITIVE PHOTOGRAPHIC MATERIAL OF IMPROVED SPEED AND GRANURALITY ESSENTIALLY CONSISTING OF A SUPPORT AND IN SUPERPOSED RELATIONSHIP A FIRST SILVER HALIDE EMULSION OF SILVER BROMIDE OR SILVER BROMO-IODIDE CLOSER TO THE SUPPORT AND A SECOND SILVER HALIDE EMULSION OF SILVER BROMIDE OR SILVER BROMO-IODIDE SUPERPOSED OVER THE FIRST EMULSION WHEREIN THE IMPROVEMENT COMPRISES THE SECOND EMULSION IS IN A LAYER HAVING A THICKNESS OF AT LAST 2$ AND THE FIRST EMULSION IS IN A LAYER HAVING A THICKNESS OF BETWEEN 5 AND 15U AND IS GREATER IN THICKNESS, THE FIRST EMULSION HAS A SENSITIVITY ABOUT 0.1 TO 0.4 LOG 1.T UNITS LESS THAN THE SENSITIVITY OF THE SECOND EMULSION AS MEASURED BY THE POINTS ON THE CHARACTERISTIC CURVES WHICH
ARE ABOVE THE EXPOSURE REQUIRED TO PRODUCE VISIBLE DENSITY, AND WHICH IMPROVEMENT RESULTS IN THE FIRST EMULSION GIVING A DENSITY OF AT LEAST 1.5, THE SECOND EMULSION GIVIMG A DENSITY OF NOT OVER 0.9 AND THE SLOWER EMULSION HAVING THE THRESHOLD OF ITS CHARACTERISTIC CURVE COINCIDING IN LOG 1.T UNITS WITH THE SHOULDER OF THE CHARACTERISTIC CURVE OF THE FASTER EMULSION AND WHEREBY OVERALL SENSITIVITY IN LOG 1.T UNITS OF SAID LIGHT SENSITIVE MATERIAL IS GREATER THEN THE SENSITIVITY OF THE MORE SENSITIVE SECOND EMULSION MEASURED BY THE POINTS ON THE CHARATERISTIC CURVE ABOVE THE EXPOSURE REQUIRED TO PRODUCE VISHIBLE DENSITY.
Abstract:
PHOTOGRAPHIC SILVER SALT GELATIN EMULSIONS ARE MADE BY PRECIPITATING THE SILVER SALT IN THE PRESENCE OF GELATIN, FLOCCULATION AND WASHING THE FLOCCULATE, WITH AN AQUEOUS SOLUTION OF A POLYMER CONTAINING DISULFONIMIDE GROUPS.
Abstract:
A silver halide emulsion mixture for the preparation of colorphotographic reversal images by the imagewise exposure and color development of red- green- and blue sensitive emulsion layers in at least one of which the emulsion is a mixture of a relatively highly sensitive silver halide and a relatively less sensitive silver halide emulsion wherein the less sensitive silver halide emulsion has an average grain size at least 50 percent of the average grain size of the more highly sensitive emulsion.
