Silver halide photographic emulsion and silver halide photosensitive material using the same

Abstract

A silver halide photographic emulsion and a silver halide photosensitive material containing the emulsion are disclosed. The grains contained in the emulsion have a variation coefficient of distribution of an equivalent-circle diameter of all the grains of 40% or less, and 50% or more in number of all the grains in the emulsion satisfy requirements (i) to (iii) below: (i) silver iodobromide or silver bromochloroiodide tabular grains having (111) faces as major surfaces, (ii) the equivalent-circle diameter is 3.5 μm or more and a thickness is 0.25 μm or less, and (iii) a distance between twin planes of the tabular grain is 0.016 μm or less.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
