Precision studies of the reaction {sup 3}He( e,thinspe{sup {prime}}p) using the three-spectrometer facility at the Mainz microtron MAMI are presented. All data are for quasielastic kinematics at {vert_bar}{rvec q}{vert_bar}=685 MeV/c . Absolute cross sections were measured at three electron kinematics. For the measured missing momenta range from 10 to 165 MeV/c , no strength is observed for missing energies higher than 20thinspthinspMeV. Distorted momentum distributions were extracted for the two-body breakup and the continuum. The longitudinal and transverse nature of the cross sections is well described by a widely used prescription of the off-shell electron-nucleon cross section. The results are compared to modern three-body calculations and to previous data. {copyright} {ital 1999} {ital The American Physical Society}
