Calculate it.
>From measured temperature, black body light intensity,
as a function of frequency, can be calculated absolutely
(Planck's distribution). Drill a pin hole of known area,
A, through the wall of a hollow black body radiator.
Pass the light through a prism and distant slit of known
width to select a light frequency band, delta_nu :

Plancks distribution = delta_intensity / delta_nu*delta_A

photon_rate = A*[Planck's distribution]*[delta_nu / h*nu]
