The invention relates to an apparatus (1200,1300) for transmission of energy of an ion to at least one gas particle and/or for transportation of an ion. The invention also relates to a particle beam device having an apparatus such as this. In particular, a container is provided, in which a gas is arranged which has gas particles, wherein the container has a transport axis. Furthermore, at least one first multipole unit and at least one second multipole unit are provided, which are arranged along the transport axis. The first multipole unit and the second multipole unit are formed by printed circuit boards. Furthermore, an electronic circuit is provided, which provides each multipole unit with a potential, such that a potential gradient is generated, in particular along the transport axis.
