The multi-anode PMT-based systems are more efficient than the
slit-scan single PMT systems in that the slit-scan systems throw away
any light that doesn't make it through the slit. The multi-anode PMT
systems send all the light to different PMT 'bins' so it is all
collected.
For testing quantum yield you need to test the detector relative to
other detectors with a known amount of light. Basically input a 'test
signal' which is very consistent and see how different detectors deal
with it.
