Abstract

The present invention relates to a light-sensitive emulsion, and a light-sensitive photographic material containing the same, comprising silver bromoiodide grains of a core shell structure comprising a) an inner core consisting essentially of silver bromide or silver bromoiodide, the silver iodide content of said inner core being within the range of 0 to 10 mole %, and b) a plurality of shells consisting essentially of silver bromide or silver bromoiodide, wherein a pure silver iodide phase representing from 0.1 to 5 mole % of the total silver halide grain content is interposed between two adjacent shells, and wherein at least one of said adjacent shells has a silver iodide content higher than 5 mole %.
