We present laser spectroscopic measurements of Nickel charge radii at and across the n=28 shell closure. Using the BECOLA experiment at NSCL, we achieved the first laser spectroscopic measurements of Nickel 55 and 56. Values for the difference in rms charge radii have been extracted for these isotopes and showcase the evolution across the shell closure. The results allow a comparison of ab initio calculations for Nickel 56 with those of Nickel 68 at the sub shell closure n=40. The measurements were done on the atomic system using a charge exchange cell, since no suitable transition is available in the ion. To extend future capabilities, we developed a new design that will allow the use of Magnesium vapor instead of the typically used alkalis.
