To probe the atomic shell structure of the heaviest actinides with Z > 100, the sensitive RAdiation Detected Resonance Ionization Spectroscopy (RADRIS) technique is applied at the SHIP velocity filter at GSI. After production in high-energy fusion-evaporation reactions the recoil products are stopped in a buffer-gas cell and collected onto a filament. Subsequent thermal evaporation as neutral atoms allows the atomic structure to be probed using laser spectroscopy. The desorption enthalpy of these elements and the filament work function are crucial for determining the efficiency of the evaporation and the background created by surface ions, respectively. In this talk, a setup for mass spectrometry of surface ionized and laser ionized lanthanides evaporated from different sample filaments is presented. The desorption enthalpies of ytterbium and lutetium from a larger variety of surfaces are discussed with regard to the prospects of laser-spectroscopic investigations of their heavier homologes, nobelium (Z = 102) and lawrencium (Z = 103).
