Laser spectroscopy of the heaviest elements allows the study of the evolution of relativistic effects on their atomic structure. In addition, nuclear properties such as spins and nuclear moments can be obtained. In our experiments at the GSI we exploit the Radiation Detected Resonance Ionization Spectroscopy in a buffer-gas filled stopping cell and use a two step photoionization process to search for the 1P1 level in 254No. Yb, a chemical homolog of No, can be produced at a higher rate and is used for optimizing the system. In this talk a general overview of our experimental setup and some results from a recent online experiment on 155Yb will be presented.
