Abstract:
A toner comprising a toner particle that contains a binder resin and a release agent, wherein the toner particle has a surface layer that contains an organosilicon polymer and the luminance histogram of a backscattered electron image of the toner particle has two peak values P1 and P2 and a minimum value V between P1 and P2, P2 originates from the organosilicon polymer, and the luminance giving P1 and P2 are in specific ranges, percentages for P1 and P2 are each at least 0.50%, and using the luminance Bl at V as a reference point, specific relationships are satisfied by A1, AV, and A2, where A1 is the total number of pixels at luminance from 0 to (Bl−30), AV is the total number of pixels at luminance from (Bl−29) to (Bl+29), and A2 is the total number of pixels at luminance from (Bl+30) to 255.

Claim (Index 2):
The toner according to  claim 1 , wherein\n the organosilicon polymer forms a network structure on the toner particle surface; when the total pixels in the backscattered electron image are divided into a pixel group A for the luminance range from 0 to (Bl\u221230) and a pixel group B for the luminance range from (Bl\u221229) to 255, a network structure due to the pixel group B is observed, with the pixel group A being net openings; and for the domains formed by the pixel group A: (i) a number-average value for an area is from 2.00\u00d710 3  nm 2  to 1.00\u00d710 4  nm 2 , and (ii) a number-average value for a particle Feret diameter is from 60 nm to 200 nm.
