Application No. 08/362,107
Rejection. 1
THE INVENTION
The invention is directed to a radiation sensitive emulsion having maximum iodide
concentrations nearer the surface of the grain wherein the exterior portion of the grain
accounts for up to 15 percent of total silver. The emulsion additionally contains specific
thiosulfonate and sulfinate compounds. Additional limitations are provided in the following
illustrative claim.
THE CLAIMS
Claims 1, 6 and 11are illustrative of appellants’ invention and are reproduced
below.
1. A radiation sensitive emulsion comprised of a dispersing medium and silver
iodochloride grains
WHEREIN the silver iodochloride grains
are cubical grains bounded by {100} crystal faces satisfying the orientation and
spacing of cubic grains,
contain from 0.05 to 1 mole percent iodide, based on total silver, with maximum
iodide concentrations located nearer the surface of the grains than their center, comprise at
least one {111} crystal face,
and wherein said emulsion further comprises a thiosulfonate of Formula I and a
sulfinate of Formula II
wherein Formula I is
