Conversion - PPF to Einsteins

 

An Einstein is defined as a mole of photons.

Therefore: microEinsteins per m2 per second is identical to micromoles per m2 per second.   1000 µE m-2s-1 ≡ 1000 µmol m-2s-1

Einsteins were interchangeably used along with µmol m-2s-1 in the 60's and 70's, but the Einstein is not a unit in the SI (International  System) of units, so using moles is preferred.
