Monomer concentration fluctuations in end-linked gels are investigated as a function of the swelling ratio using SANS. The signals scattered by the gels are compared to those of semidilute solutions of linear chains of the same concentration. It is shown that the gels matter a signal at small angles much stronger than the equivalent solutions. Such a scattering excess is attributed to the presence of two types of heterogeneities in the gel. Two different types of behavior are observed: at intermediate values of the scattering vector, q, the spectra exhibit a «shoulder» suggesting that «starlike» objects are present in the gel while at very small angles, the scattering intensity, I(q), increases very strongly with q
