The behaviour of a Ge(Li) spectrometer as a point detector was considered. The intrinsic peak efficiency of the point detector is suggested as a characteristic parameter. A procedure for relative calibration of photon sources, and for comparison between various shape spectrometers, based on accurate corrections of solid angle as a function of photon energy is presented. Examples of the procedure are given.
