...highest energy), they aimed a beam from the grating through a Pyrex cylinder containing hydrogen and deuterium iodide gas, which breaks down when exposed to light. When molecules of deuterium iodide were struck by photons in the light beam, they split into fast-moving atoms of deuterium and sluggish, heavier atoms of iodine. Some of the speeding deuterium atoms in turn collided with hydrogen molecules in the cylinder, knocking off one of the hydrogen atoms and combining with the other to form deuterium hydride...

By 1765, Copley finally had his technique under control; his work became more straightforward and simple as if clearing away the unnecessary baggage in preparation for a new excursion...
