  • Patent number: 4992362
    Abstract: The production of a photosensitive silver halide emulsion by precipitation of the silver halide in the presence of gelatine, flocculation and washing of the silver halide precipitated in the presence of the gelatine and redispersion with addition of more gelatine, precipitation being carried out in the presence of a gelatine having a gold number of at most 10 .mu.mol/g gelatine and a cysteine content of at most 6 ppm and redispersion being carried out with a gelatine having a gold number of at least 23 .mu.mol/g gelatine, leads to an emulsion of uniform grain distribution in which undesirably high fogging is avoided.
