Spin fluctuations and density fluctuations are studied for a two-component gas of strongly interacting fermions along the BEC-BCS crossover [1]. Spin fluctuations are observed by directly measuring the difference in densities for the two spin states. This was done by using a probe laser which had equal detuning from both states, but with opposite signs.
