The photofragment imaging technique is used to study the formation of H and D in the photolysis of CH{sub 2}D{sub 2}. From the images different reaction channels are distinguished that lead to hydrogen fragments. For the channel that leads to hydrogen atoms concomitant with methyl fragments a H/D ratio of 3.5{plus_minus}0.6 is found. {copyright} {ital 1996 American Institute of Physics.}
