This paper presents a procedure for determining the effective quantum yield and average gain of the dynode system of a photomultiplier. An objective performance figure, the extrapolated count response, is introduced. The results for FEU-142 photomultiplier studies are given. The radiation source used in the studies was a PRK-2 mercury-vapor lamp with a regulated power supply. The recorder was a pulse analyzer based on a UNO-4096-90, which was equipped with BPA-2-95, BPV-2-90, and UVTs-2-90 units. The amplifier used a KP303V transistor and a 140UD1B operational amplifier.
