The aim of this work was to test Monte Carlo method for the quantitative analysis of silicate glass. The binary glass PbO-SiO₂, was chosen for expected big atomic number correction and absorption correction due to large atomic number correction and absorption correction due to large atomic number difference of elements contained in it. It was shown that it is sufficient to simulate some hundreds of trajectories of primary electrons for obtaining the stable values of measured intensity. Linear division of trajectory is more convenient for routine quantitative analysis as well as finest division of the trajectory in steps.
