<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Large zeolite crystals of ferrierite have been used to study the deactivation, at the single particle level, of the alkyl isomerisation catalysis of oleic acid and elaidic acid by a combination of visible micro‐spectroscopy and fluorescence microscopy (both polarised wide‐field and confocal modes). The large crystals did show the desired activity, albeit only traces of the isomerisation product were obtained and low conversions were achieved compared to commercial ferrierite powders. This limited activity is in line with their lower external non‐basal surface area, supporting the hypothesis of pore mouth catalysis. Further evidence for the latter comes from visible micro‐spectroscopy, which shows that the accumulation of aromatic species is limited to the crystal edges, while fluorescence microscopy strongly suggests the presence of polyenylic carbocations. Light polarisation associated with the spatial resolution of fluorescence microscopy reveals that these carbonaceous deposits are aligned only in the larger 10‐MR channels of ferrierite at all crystal edges. The reaction is hence further limited to these specific pore mouths.</jats:p>
