Abstract:
1. A silver halide photosensitive material comprising at least one light-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer on a support, wherein the silver halide photosensitive material has at least one layer comprising an emulsified dispersion containing at least one surfactant represented by general formula (I), and at least one emulsion containing tabular silver halide grains having an average aspect ratio of 8 or greater, and at least one sensitizing dye. wherein A represents an acid group selected from the group consisting of sulfonic acid, phosphoric acid and carboxylic acid groups, or a metal salt thereof, R provided that when n is 1, the total number of carbon atoms of R that when m is 2 or greater the plurality of A's may be the same or different, and that when A is an acid group, the quotient of the molecular weight of surfactant of the general formula (I) divided by m is 430 or greater, and when A is a salt of metal atom, the molecular weight of the surfactant of the general formula (I) after substitution of the metal atom with hydrogen atom, divided by m is 430 or greater.
