Abstract
A photographic element is described which comprises a silver halide emulsion having incorporated therein a latent image forming unit, said unit being comprised of an agglomeration of silver halide in conductive contact with a light absorbing center, wherein the center is comprised of: PA1 (i) an amorphous or liquid crystalline spectral sensitizing dye; or PA1 (ii) a plurality of spectral sensitizing dye crystals. Also described is a process for forming a silver halide emulsion and the emulsion prepared by such process.
